Electronic Step Maze (Performance)

  Verbal learning is the one where language activity is predominating. It is a known fact that learning cannot be measured directly but we can ascertain the same by measuring the performance. This process of learning takes place over a period time and trials. As the practice increases the performance increases rapidly in the beginning and then levels off. This is called plateau. This progress of learning as a result of practice is studied using letter digit substitution test material. This is a list of letters and values for each letter printed as a key. Referring to these values subject has to keep substituting the corresponding values to all the other letters.’

It is true that in learning and memory process, there is a close relationship between the meaningfulness and learning. Larger the association between the two learning materials greater will be the speed and easier to learn the material. This phenomenon can be established by making use of paired associate learning cards. This is a set of 20 cards, which has a pair of words printed on one side and the first word of the pair printed on the other. These cards are grouped in to two as ‘A’ and ‘B’. Group ‘A’ (10 pairs) words has no association and group ‘B’ has different pairs (10 pairs) of words and has more logical and meaningful relationship.
