Abstract
Eye Movements of slow and fast learners were monitored as they studied a 7-item P-A list. The findings were consistent with a two-stage interpretation of verbal learning. The slow learners appeared to take longer in Stage 1, a relatively brief process, and to experience considerable difficulty in Stage 2.
