32 undergraduates learned a list of 8 paired-associates in which 4 pairs were composed of short-latency associative RT CVCVC response terms and 4 pairs of long-latency RT terms. 2 of the 4 response terms of each group were low in meaningfulness and 2 were high. The list was learned under either a 3- or 6-sec presentation rate. Consistent with predictions and with findings of previous studies using CVC response terms, the short-latency RT terms were learned faster than the long-latency terms and the effect of RT was most pronounced at the 3-sec presentation rate. Fewer trials were required to learn the high- than the low-meaningfulness terms, and fewer trials were required for learning at the 6-sec presentation rate than at the 3-sec rate. For a sample of 65 CVCVCs, intercorrelations among RT, associative frequency, pronunciability, and association value were found to be high. Correlations between log frequency value and the other variables were low.
