Four experiments examined the effects of various instructions on the rate of false recognitions of synonyms, antonyms, nonsemantic associates, and homonyms. (Editor)

The central focus of the present study was to determine whether subjects retain any information about the specific nature - the specific lexical content - of the individual sentences heard during acquisition. (Author)

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)

The present study replicated the procedure of Kausler et al. (1975) as a means of testing further the hypothesis that the processing of wrong items differs qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, from the processing of right items. (Author)

Investigates the relative importance that the eyes and mouth play in the representation in memory of a human face. Systematically applies two kinds of transformation--masking the eyes or the mouths on photographs of faces--and observes the effects on recognition. (Author/RK)

Voluntary forgetting of a list of verbal items was tested under two conditions. Results show that both recall and recognition increase as a function of the spacing between the two occurrences under the Remember-Forget condition, but not under the Forget Forget-Remember condition. (Editor/RK)

Article considered whether one should be able to obtain - by selecting the appropriate orienting task - incidental learning that is superior to ordinary intentional learning. (Author/RK)

The ability of subjects to scan only one of two sets of items in short-term memory was investigated as a function of the similarity between the items in the two sets, the type of test used to evaluate retention of sets, and the number of items in each set. Results indicated that this one-set scan ability is limited by the capacity of short-term…

Subjects studied three lists of words using a high- or low-organization mnemonic strategy, so that the two groups might differ in organizational (list) information but acquire about equal frequency (occurrence) information. It was predicted that organizational information would be used in recognition decisions. (Editor/RK)

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

Investigates the prediction that the usual superiority of pictures over words for repetitions of the same items would disappear for items that were different instances of repeated categories. (Author/RK)
