Encoding variability in mediated transfer
TL;DR: In this article, the encoding variability (EV) of the B terms (mediators) was varied in an attempt to contrast the mechanisms of unlearning and mediation in the three-stage chaining paradigm, i.e., A-B, B-C, A-C and corresponding pseudomediation groups.

Abstract: The encoding variability (EV) of the B terms (mediators) was varied in an attempt to contrast the mechanisms of unlearning and mediation in the three-stage chaining paradigm, i.e., A-B, B-C, A-C, and the corresponding pseudomediation groups. It was thought that the pseudomediation hypothesis might apply only for low-EV B terms, where unlearning might be more likely. Test-list performance indicated mediated facilitation, and there was a difference of comparable magnitude for the pseudomediation groups, but neither was influenced by the EV of the mediating terms.

Distillation, Azeotropic and Extractive

TL;DR: The principal distillation-based techniques employed for separating such mixtures are discussed: extractive or homogeneous azeotropic distillation, where a completely miscible liquid separating agent is added to alter the relative volatilities, and pressure-swing distillation where some azeotropes can be circumvented using a series of columns operating at different pressures as mentioned in this paper.

Pseudomediation: Is chaining an artifact?
George Mandler,Bruce Earhard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was argued that the usual mediation effect may not be due to mediated chaining but rather to a combination of bidirectional association and unlearning, and the authors used an appropriate control group to demonstrate facilitation in an A-B, B-C, A-E paradigm.

An experimental evaluation of the pseudomediation hypothesis
L. R. Goulet,Leo Postman +1 more
TL;DR: The chaining paradigm of mediation and the corresponding paradigm of pseudomediation were compared and significant facilitation attributable to associative chaining was obtained in the mediation paradigm whereas the pseudomediated effect previously reported by Handler & Earhard failed to appear.
Uncertainty and meaningfulness in paired-Associate learning
TL;DR: This paper examined the relationship among the number of encodings for a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) trigram, meaningfulness (M), and the rate of learning in a paired-associate (PA) task.

Transfer and mediation in verbal concept learning
TL;DR: The authors found that in both the training and the transfer tasks, learning was faster when Cl words were relevant than when Ncl words were not relevant, and when previously reinforced-now irrelevant words were Cl rather than Ncl.
