“…). In the CVLT-II, transfer of learning strategy is likely evident when semantic clustering is employed both during ListA learning trials and on the single presentation of ListB(DeRosa, Doane, & Russell, 1970). Our groups did not differ on total raw recall on ListB or, as reported previously, there were no between group difference or interaction effect evident on repeated ANOVA comparing ListA trial 1 to ListB raw recall performance.…”

“…We did not include ListB in our primary analyses as it is difficult to reliably analyze strategy use in only one presentation. However, to examine potential transfer of strategy (DeRosa et al, 1970), we conducted a post-hoc mixed factor analysis comparing ListA Trial 1 semantic clustering to ListB semantic clusters which revealed no significant interaction, but did show a significant between group effect with controls utilizing more semantic clusters F (1,61)=8.059, p=0.006, η 2 =0.118. Postdoc independent t-tests revealed significant between group difference on ListB semantic clustering with controls using more semantic clusters relative to mild TBI participants t(61)= 2.760, p= 0.008, η 2 = 0.113.…”

“…Other published research (DeRosa, Doane, & Russell, 1970;Johnson, 1972;Ornstein, 1970) also supported the negative transfer interpretation. For example, Ornstein (1970) also found support for Tulving's negative transfer of learning hypothesis, in his experiments of recall of polysemous lists compared to lists with word organizations that were compatible, conflicting, and neutral.…”

Two experiments compared the subjective organization of memory in college students and persons with brain injury using a part-whole list-learning task. Previous research attributed the negative transfer of learning that college students experience in the part-whole task to their inability to reorganize part-list words when learning the whole list. We reasoned that persons with brain injury would not experience negative transfer of learning in the part-whole paradigm because of their limited organizational skills. Experiment 1 replicated the usual negative transfer of learning with college students. Experiment 2 showed that brain-injured participants did not experience the same negative transfer of learning effects during the same task.

“…Typically the lists are related in some fashion. For example, the items on the first list may be a subset of those to be learned on the final list (Tulving, 1966); or they may be instances of the same taxonomic categories which make up the second list (Birnbaum, 1968;De Rosa, Doane, & Russel, 1970).…”

An experiment was designed to test the sensitivity of the method to differences in organizational structure. All subjects learned a list consisting of words selected from hierarchically related taxonomic categories, and which could be organized in alternative ways. Three experimental groups were influenced to adopt the alternative organizations by using different blocked presentation orders of the items. Twelve acquisition trials were given and long‐term retention was tested after either 1, 5, 10, or 20 days. All experimental groups receiving categorically blocked presentation recalled and retained more words than a random input‐order control group. However, the experimental groups did not differ among themselves in recall during acquisition or retention. The proximity analyses produced results which were consistent with the predetermined patterns of organization and indicated that the different organizations of the list were maintained in the retention test. Existing data from several studies of part‐whole transfer by Ornstein were reanalyzed to assess the explanatory power of the method of proximity analysis. These studies had delineated some conditions under which prior learning of part of a list would facilitate or hinder subsequent learning of the whole list. One study demonstrated that random presentation of the whole list produced negative transfer, but that whole‐list learning was facilitated by blocking the presentation order of the final list according to the “old” and “new” subsets of items. Applying proximity analysis to these data, it was found that the higher‐order subjective units identified from the first‐list protocols carried over to second list learning only for those subjects who had received blocked presentation of the final list. These results directly verified predictions which had been made from a theory of subjective organization (Tulving). It was concluded that the method of proximity analysis can be useful in attempts to elucidate the relationship between organization and memory. One of the central questions in the study of free recall learning concerns the role of organizational factors in retrieving information from memory. This work has been greatly facilitated by the development of procedures for measuring the amount of organization evidenced in recall. At a conceptual level, such measures may be thought of as indexing the formation of informationally‐rich higher order memory units which serve as multiple access routes to the list items they subtend. Thus, a given list item may be retrieved either on its own merits or through prior retrieval of the subjective memory unit which includes it. There has been, however, no way to determine the actual manner of organization employed by individual subjects. Such a procedure would seem necessary in order to test directly hypotheses concerning the way in which organization influences performance and retention. A method for assessing the structure of organization was developed on the basis of the ordinal separation, or proximity, betw...
