Detailed explanation-1: -Paired-associate learning is a classic memory paradigm that is used to understand how people encode and retrieve newly formed associations among stimuli. In a typical study using paired-associate learning, people are asked to learn unrelated word pairs (e.g., stove – letter).
Detailed explanation-2: -Paired-associate learning (PAL) is an episodic memory paradigm in which pairs of items (e.g., “absence-hollow”) are presented during one or more learning trials. At test, the first item of the pair is presented as a cue in order to elicit a response of the second item.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, words such as calendar (stimulus) and shoe (response) may be paired, and when the learner is prompted with the stimulus, he responds with the appropriate word (shoe ).
Detailed explanation-4: -In paired-associate learning experiments, participants are asked to learn two paired-associate lists, one after the other. Of interest is the relation between the two lists in terms of which learning can be applied from the first to the second list.
