Verbal Learning Paper Types of learning abound. As a result, people apply different kinds of methods that are appropriate for them during learning process. Various learning approaches showcase how a learner commences the efforts of gripping, processing, focusing on, and sustaining current and challenging information (Bjork, McDaniel, Pashler, and Rohrer, 2008). The study of memory and learning is synonymous with Ebbinghaus, Herman. The earliest scientific approach to the study of memory in 1885 by Herman Ebbinghaus gave impetus to some techniques used by psychologists to assess learning methods. This paper shall examine the concept of verbal learning. Compares and contrasts serial learning, paired associate learning, and free recall. It will also explore the concept of mnemonics in the recall of verbal stimuli. The Concept of Verbal Learning The concept of verbal learning is associated with Herman Ebbibghaus’ (1885) scientific research on memory. This scientific exploration and breakthrough illuminates the impact of explicit independent features on learning first the verbal learning items or objects. The concept of verbal learning relates to some learning techniques propounded by Ebbinghaus. The techniques include serial learning, (e.g., the list of words), and nonsense syllables ( consant-vowel-consant, e.g., LoJ, TAQ). These techniques also gave hunch to many experimental events and controls for meaning. This verbal learning tends to reflect. Verbal learning simply depicts memorization, (or learning) the list of words (Terry, 2009). The redefinition of the concept of verbal learning away from the traditional postulations of behavioral stimulus-response currently reflects much more on cognition. The above assertions provoke some doubts in the minds of some modern psychologists as inappropriate or ineffective. The bottom line remains that the concept of
