The present study was designed to examine the relative contributions of perception and memory to the word-frequency effect in the Solomon and Postman design. (Author)

Peer reviewedShaughnessy, John J. – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
In a list presented for study, the successive occurrences of a repeated item may appear either in adjacent or nonadjacent list positions. This research attempts to determine the relative size of this spacing effect, either for massed-presentation items (MP) or distributed-presentation items (DP), in long-term tests of retention as compared to that…

Two experiments using five lists of words were conducted to explore the effects of the concreteness or abstractness of words on their tachistoscopic recognition. (Editor)

Tests of cognitive and perceptual abilities were given to 140 college students. These subjects then participated on two word-recognition tasks in which their recognition thresholds to both English and artificial words were obtained. (Editor)

Peer reviewedWallace, William P.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1978
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…
