Herbert Weingartner, Louis A. Faillace, Herbert G. Markley · Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol · 1971

On seoond trial the alcoholics showed less learning increment than the nonalcoholics, and newly hospitalized alcoholics less than those hospitalized 3 weeks. The results in serial learning were similar to those in freerecall tests.
