Although the von Restorff effect on retention in retarded Ss has been well demonstrated, it does not facilitate learning in such Ss to an equal degree, since they experience less arousal. A study is reported in which white noise (75 db) was used to increase the level of arousal in retarded Ss. Results show that with manipulation of white noise the von Restorff effect appears and produces improved retention in retarded Ss, and the differences in retention and learning between retarded and nonretarded Ss are not significant.

Abstract
Although the von Restorff effect on retention in retarded Ss has been well demonstrated, it does not facilitate learning in such Ss to an equal degree, since they experience less arousal. A study is reported in which white noise (75 db) was used to increase the level of arousal in retarded Ss. Results show that with manipulation of white noise the von Restorff effect appears and produces improved retention in retarded Ss, and the differences in retention and learning between retarded and nonretarded Ss are not significant.File in questo prodotto:
