dc.description.abstractThis study attempted to investigate the position taken by Ausubel with regard to meaningful and rota retention by determining the extent to which amount of study time influ­enced retention of meaningful and rote materials. Replica­tion of part of a study by Ausubel and Fitzgerald was also attempted. Subjects were 114 university undergraduates. Meaningful and rote materials designed by Ausubel and Fitzgerald were studied for a long or short time. Reten­tion was tested immediately and one week later with a mul­tiple-choice instrument. Data were treated with a 2 x 2 x 2 analysis of variance and a series of planned comparisons. It was found that amount of study time and time of testing were influential variable in this study. No differences in retention attributable to type of materials (meaningful or rote) were found. It was concluded that the findings did not support Ausubel's theoretical position.en
