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

A learning-to-learn approach was taken in the present study in an attempt to draw the subjects' attention to the associative relations among items and to examine whether the presentation of four functionally equivalent interitem lists would result in the subjects' using a higher cognitive strategy. (Author/RK)

This experiment tested the hypothesis that attenuation of attention would be a direct function of lag and whether certain manipulations within the context of a self-paced study procedure would allow for an interpretation of the superior recall of distributed versus massed items by way of that hypothesis. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate more thoroughly the relative importance of consistencies of input as compared with output order in determining organization in the multitrial free recall of lists of maximally unrelated words. (Author)

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)

Of all the studies examining recognition of semantically related words, none has systematically varied lag to test the straightforward prediction of a monotonic decrease in false alarms to new words semantically related to prior words. The present experiment, using semantic associates, tested this prediction. (Author)

The present experiments were an attempt to clarify the mixed results on the interitem manipulation of implicit associative responses in verbal discrimination. (Author)

A rule for selecting components from the stimulus compounds was established during first-list learning. (Editor)

The results of these experiments supported the contention that the use of different organizational strategies on two word lists reduced the amount of retroactive inhibition in free recall. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this study was to determine if stimuli of high potential imagery (pictures) would be less subject to negative transfer than stimuli of lower potential imagery (concrete words). (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)

Subjects learned 24 words from two categories to either a lenient or a stringent criterion and were then tested in an identification task. (Editor)

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)
