Slides showing realistic dyadic encounters in naturalistic settings, using different combinations of behavioral and environmental cues, were the stimuli. Sixty students rated their perception of these encounters on six scales, and the relative importance of environmental cues in social perception is discussed. (Editor/RK)

Uses new approaches to differentiate three types of models describing intuitive numerical prediction. (Author)

This investigation examined the effects of a variety of cue criterion function forms and attempted to evaluate the contribution of the factors just named, i.e., the response consistency of subjects, detection of task linearity, and the detection of task nonlinearity, to observed differences in learning. (Author/RK)

Superordinate cues (e.g., "animal" for "dog") and coordinate cues (e.g., "cat" for "dog") were compared in two experiments. Associability and not the superordinate or coordinate relationship seems to be important in determining the effectiveness of cues. (Editor)

Performance on the last few items of a 12-word list was impaired when a spoken "Recall" was used as the cue for recall, relative to performance with a nonverbal cue. This suffix effect occured with four types of recall instructions after auditory presentation, including instructions for conventional serial and after free recall. (Editor)

Attempts to replicate Gogel's (1972) observations with points of light and examines in addition whether the same results would be obtained if the binocularly nearer object was made visually more massive than the farther object and if the residual oculomotor cues were varied to produce different values of the reference distance. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the results obtained by Knowles et al. were a result of varying levels of redundancy or varying levels of other task parameters. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the distinctiveness of stimulus cues on the relevant and irrelevant dimensions - both in original learning and in transfer - on the learning of intradimensional shifts by retarded subjects. (Author)

When subjects learned paired associates that, on the study trials, consisted of a stimulus (cue) and its correct (target) response plus two other (distractor) responses from within the list, the presence of the distractor items interfered with learning, especially when overtly pronounced as opposed to silently studied. (Editor)

In this paper, we report a simple experiment demonstrating one form of continuity between recall and recognition. (Author)

Two experiments investigated word-frequency effects with modified recall and recognition testing conditions. The procedural modifications included introducing partial copy cues and including irrelevant partial copy cues (distractor cues) in recall, and eliminating distractors from recognition tests. Words with high background frequency (HF) were…

The evidence from studies of component selection in paired-associate learning is reviewed and then considered in relation to Martin's (1968) hypothesis of encoding variability and Rudy's (1974) model of variations in the associative process. Component-selection tasks are also compared to verbal concept-formation tasks. (Editor)
