本研究的主要目的，在探討我國語文材料的心像性在配對學習中的作用 。實驗I係用200個複合詞給予大學生，要其以7點最表法評定複合詞心像性的高低。實驗II係選用實驗I的結果，編成心像性高低不相同的兩組列表做對聯學習。結果指出心像性較高的列表學習得比較快；語文材料的心像性在語文學習中是一相當重要的中介變項。

　　　　　In Exp. I, two hundred Chinese nouns were scaled for mental imaginability by 200 students of National Taiwan University. In Exp. II, the effect of mental imaginability on paired-associate learning was investigated. Two word lists with different imaginability were learned by 20 subjects in this experiment. Then the effect of high and low imaginability was compared. The results indicated that the list with high imaginability was learned faster than that with low imaginability.
