Abstract
Subjects learned a 25-word passage of connected discourse. The learning conditions consisted of a factorial combination of three total presentation times (30, 45, and 60 sec) and three conditions of repetition (one, two, and three repetitions). For both learning time and trials to criterion, only the main effect of repetitions was significant.
