The purpose of the present experiment was to manipulate independently the number of lists learned and the criterion of learning, to determine how each of these variables and their interaction influence nonspecific transfer. (Author)

The present experiment was addressed to the study of one aspect of nonspecific transfer, namely, whether the processes involved in the test trails during acquisition are related to subsequent nonspecific transfer. (Author)

The present experiment was directed at establishing the empirical relations between re-pairing and degree of training, and between re-pairing and information about that re-pairing. (Author)

The present paper is concerned with uncontrollable, aversive stimulation. (Editor)

Earlier reports of the pain of putting hand and forearm in circulating ice water were recomputed to study how subjects scale that pain and to find appropriate measures of its reduction under hypnotic analgesia. (Editor)

Ambiguous pictures that could be seen as faces or as meaningless patterns were the stimuli in two recognition-memory experiments. Recognition was far more accurate when the stimuli were seen as faces. (Editor)

Whereas Martin (1973) examined item effects for individual subjects as indicators of their idiosyncratic organization of the middle of a lengthy, constant sequence of unrelated nouns, the present study examined the constancy of item effects across groups of subjects learning a short list of moderately difficult CVCs. (Author/RK)

The possibility that subjective contours are an artifact of brightness contrast was explored. Concludes that subjective contour and brightness contrast are distinct perceptual phenomena but share a dependency on the processing of edge information transmitted through the achromatic channels of the visual system.

In a series of three experiments on the role of memory in solving attribute-identification problems, the subjects did or did not have to remember their response and/or the stimulus for processing during any given intertrial interval. (Editor)

Recent research has suggested that the use of the shift effect as a measure of encoding is critically dependent upon its properties as a psychological phenomenon. Examines this interrelation in light of data from a simple experiment. (Author/RK)

Two experiments found reduced proactive inhibition when subjects were induced to use the nonpreferred components of a compound stimulus during first-list learning. (Editor)

The basic question asked in this research was whether it is possible, through training, to influence a subject's preference for encoding a particular attribute. (Author/RK)

Tests the hypothesis that when a "control for size" is introduced, preference for rectangles near the golden section reemerges. Also focuses on the "measure of preference". (Author/RK)

This study attempted to shed light on the role of items cued to be remembered in the forgetting of items cued to be forgotten. (Author)

Assesses the effects of both experimenter- and subject-controlled reinforcement on the frequency of uncommon responses during originality training and a subsequent transfer task. (Author/RK)
