The assumption that auditory attention is locked onto a shadowed (verbally tracked) message was examined. (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)

Authors attempted to measure the effect of phonetic similarity on the ease and speed with which pairs of words are found in memory. (Author/RK)

Among the objectives of the present study was the intention to replicate Spielberger and Denny's (1963) procedure with a different set of words, a different test of verbal ability, and a larger and different group of subjects. (Author/RK)

Subjects asked to recall the 20 items and (not necessarily in) their order on a list took 34 percent fewer trials to learn the list to three perfect trials than did subjects who were asked just to recall the items. (Editor)

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 major premise of the present study was that rules are not only a useful descriptive concept but may actually be acquired by subjects and govern the selection process. (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)

Subjects were required to predict a recurring three-element binary pattern (RLL) under continuous reinforcement or under partial reinforcement on a variable-ratio schedule. (Editor)

This experiment attempted to obtain an estimate of perceptual isolation effects when the isolated item was the only distinctive feature in the list and to obtain data on continuous serial learning in order that isolation and serial-position effects could be compared directly. (Author/RK)

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)

One version, by Lockhart, Craik, and Jacoby, of a levels-of-processing model of memory asserts the importance of the role of expectancies about forthcoming information in determining the elaborateness of a memory trace. Confirmed expectancies result in less-elaborated memory traces; disconfirmed expectancies result in elaborate memory traces.…

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)
