Abstract
Seven sets of data are presented which summarize the relationship between trials to criterion and total presentation time for a 25-word-long passage of connected discourse. The resultant relationship shows a sharp negative deceleration with trials to criterion becoming quickly asymptotic between two and two and one-half trials. Implications of this relationship to the total-time hypothesis for connected discourse learning are briefly presented.
