Abstract:
Three experiments were conducted to assess the effects of certain stimulus variables on children's discrimination learning. In general, it was found that word frequency was negatively related to discrimination learning as long as the words were meaningful to Ss. Moreover, the relationship between word frequency and performance reversed in free-recall learning, as was expected. Equivalent relationships between frequency and learning were obtained with both verbal and pictorial materials. The implications of these results were discussed in the context of popular accounts of memorial representation.

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...
