A model dealing with the function of elaboration in word encoding was evaluated using a 2-list recognition procedure that varied encoding time within the presentation list. The model predicted that elaboration, reflected in the incidence of false positives to associates of words presented in the recognition list, would increase as presentation…

This research found storage of information in a short-term memory task to have a detrimental effect upon perceptual processing in a detection task. Additionally, it was determined that the magnitude of the effect was related to the degree of visual similarity, but not acoustic similarity, between the stored information and the perceptual…

Mixed lists of digit pairs and consonant pairs were presented under Sternberg's scanning paradigm. The results indicated that the subjects partitioned this material into discriminable subsets but apparently only used that structure to reduce response latency when the test probes were negative. Probe familiarity is discussed as a basis for this…

Uses new approaches to differentiate three types of models describing intuitive numerical prediction. (Author)

The 90 individually run subjects learned and were tested for their free recall of a conceptually unrelated hierarchy of words, a randomly arranged, or a properly arranged conceptual hierarchy, under instructions to process the words either by generating hierarchical associations among them or by copying them. (Editor)

Article investigated the mechanisms determining proactive inhibition in associative recall. (Author/RK)

The subjects in two experiments learned either two successive unrelated verbal-discrimination or paired-associate tasks, with anticipation and feedback durations factorially combined (2 or 4sec). (Editor)

The recall (of names) and the recognition (of orientation) of complex pictures both became more accurate with increasing exposure duration when interitem interval was held constant, but were largely unrelated within each exposure duration. (Editor)

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

Article investigated question-asking behavior during problem formulation. (Author/RK)

The experiments reported below attempted to reduce the availability of the A-C pairs and the dominance of the set of C responses to determine whether this would increase the subjects' access to the A-B pairs. (Author)

The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether localized motor activity could be induced in an observer as a consequence of his exposure to specific acts by a model. (Author)

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 present study was designed to explore age differences in the association of temperatures with specific colors, using as stimuli actual felt temperatures rather than the 'imagined' or ambient temperatures used in other studies. (Author)

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)
