On non‐verbatim learning: 1. Level of processing and level of outcome

Abstract

Abstract.— Non‐verbatim learning is analyzed in terms of the distinction between the sign and what is signified. This view of learning is made explicit in order to arrive at a commensurable description of the process and the outcome of learning. A close relationship is demonstrated between level of processing and level of outcome. In terms of the latter, qualitative inter‐and intra‐individual variation is also described in a commensurable way.
