    • Abstract:
      The article provides information on a study which investigated the relationship between anxiety and differential motivating instructions in a verbal learning situation. It examined the effects of anxiety, using Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale scores, and differential motivating instructions on serial learning and retention of nonsense syllables by college students. It was found that anxiety, motivating instructions and the interaction of these two variables have significant effects on learning. Results were discussed in terms of a habit interpretation of anxiety.
