The present study investigated further the effects of semantic category on speed of matching a target word to words in a memory set. (Author)

The present study was an attempt to clarify the conditions under which integrated recognition memory and specific recognition memory are found. To do this, the ability of students to remember semantically related and unrelated sentences was examined. (Author/RK)

This paper examines three studies that Danks and Schwenk interpreted as supporting the pragmatic communication rule of adjective ordering. (Editor)

The present experiment focused on the cue-selection strategies retarded individuals use during paired-associate learning. (Author)

Four experiments assessed the influence of a pretraining session on the recognition of English words. (Editor)

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)

Whereas Martin (1973) examined item effects for individual subjects as indicators of their idiosyncratic organization of the middle of a lengthy, constant sequence of unrelated nouns, the present study examined the constancy of item effects across groups of subjects learning a short list of moderately difficult CVCs. (Author/RK)

The role of contexts in the imaging process was investigated in a cued-recall study. Results indicated that the capacity of the cue word to elicit the context was the most important factor determining recall. Uses the contextualist approach to memory and the encoding specificity principle in discussing results. (Editor/RK)

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)

Attempts to replicate Gogel's (1972) observations with points of light and examines in addition whether the same results would be obtained if the binocularly nearer object was made visually more massive than the farther object and if the residual oculomotor cues were varied to produce different values of the reference distance. (Author/RK)

The effect of time of awareness of a subsequent test of recall and the relationship of that awareness and rote rehearsal were studied by telling subjects which specific items to encode before the item's presentation (prior instructions) or after its rehearsal (postrehearsal instructions) and by varying rehearsal intervals for individual items.…

The purpose of this research was (a) to determine whether or not an emotional response, as measured by palmar skin conductance, does accompany a critical item, and (b) if it does, to investigate its relationship to the deficit in recognition memory. (Author/RK)

120 college students sorted cards with instructions to process bits of information per card (response uncertainty) and then made an absolute judgment of the interval's duration. Judged time was an inverse linear function of response uncertainty under the prospective paradigm, whereas no significant function was obtained under the retrospective…

Several experiments have shown that isolating a response term facilitates paired-associate learning even when the response terms are well-integrated items. The present experiment was done to determine whether response-term recall would also be enhanced under this condition. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the results obtained by Knowles et al. were a result of varying levels of redundancy or varying levels of other task parameters. (Author)
