Abstract
The role of posture in nonsense-syllable learning was assessed by testing 32 Ss under contrasting conditions of congruent (i.e., learn erect-relearn erect; learn supine-relearn supine) and incongruent (i.e., learn erect-relearn supine; learn supine-relearn erect) body orientations in learning and relearning. Under congruent postures there is significantly greater saving in relearning; this effect holds only in the early stages of the process of recall (i.e., with a weak criterion).

This paper is restricted to a description of the research program on perception and other cognitive operations which Heinz Werner and I initiated at Clark University some fifteen years ago, embedded in an experimental-theoretical approach which the authors now refer to as organismic-developmental.
