Abstract
journal abstract: In each of 2 experiments, 2 versions of a stylized program to teach Russian vocabulary were given to college students. 1 version used only primitive "copying frames," while the other version used copying frames in which the prompt sentence was embedded in a context of 5 English-Russian sentences. In both experiments the Context groups recalled significantly more (p < .05) overtly-practiced Russian words on the posttests than did the No-Context groups. The advantage of the Context programs was especially pronounced for Ss who hurried through the programs. The results can be interpreted as demonstrating that the addition of incidental material to the copying frame facilitates associative learning by insuring that Ss at least notice the stimulus before making the response.
