total-time hypothesis  

Définition

  • “The total-time hypothesis states that a fixed amount of time is necessary to learn a fixed amount of material regardless of the number of individual trials into which that time is divided. If, for example, it takes 10 seconds to learn each of the items of a given list, the total-time hypothesis would predict that a subject could reach criterion in either 20 .5-second-per-item trials or 10 1-second per-item trials or 5 2-second-per-item trials or 1 10-second-per-item trial.” (Cooper & Pantle, 1967, p. 221).
