The reversibility of stimulus and response terms, using French phonemes and their corresponding graphemes, was studied with 196 high-school students. Experimental Ss learned to discriminate among 3 French phonemes by circling the correct written form of words when they heard these words spoken. A control group received equal exposure to the materials, but no discrimination training. Experimental Ss excelled control Ss on a test in which written forms of the words were used as stimuli for pronunciation responses. It was concluded that special discrimination training produced a substantial reversibility effect beyond the effect of merely presenting Ss with the materials.
