Abstract

Ss were instructed to learn a list of 10 CVC trigrams by either the conventional serial anticipation method, backward conditioning or forward conditioning. The F ratio failed to show a significant difference between the three experimental groups. The results contradict previous results which shown that forward training is more efficient than the other two methods.
