The consultation rate of prisoners was higher than that of patients in the practice. Part of this increase was because household remedies were not available to prisoners except through the prison medical service and part may also have been due to the stresses of life in prison. Few psychoactive drugs were prescribed in prison. The problems that prisoners presented reflected the problems of violence and poor hygiene in prison. Some problems that more commonly present in prison than in general practice may be related to stress.

It is also apparent from the literature that a complete treatment of association formation must take into account association directionality. Altogether, then, 3 "things" are seen to evolve during the acquisition of a paired-associate list: response availability,
