Abstract With the increased use of computerized programmed instruction, it is important to determine which methods will enable the student to benefit most from the computer experience. It has previously been found true in verbal‐learning experiments, and is shown here in regard to perceptual‐learning experiments, that complex procedures such as continual interrogation, overt response, immediate knowledge of results, and presentation of successive items conditional upon past performance have turned out to be less successful than a simpler, more direct, approach—the presentation and observation of paired associates.
