Coe, William C.; And Others – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
A retroactive inhibition design was used to examine the process of posthypnotic amnesia. The results supported the notion that "forgotten" material is as available to amnesic subjects at some level as it is to nonamnesic subjects. (Editor)

Koh, Soon D.; Peterson, Rolf A. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1978
This research examines different types of encoding strategies, in addition to semantic and organizational encodings, and their effects on schizophrenics' remembering. Based on Craik and Lockhart (1972), i.e., memory performance is a function of depth of encoding processing, this analysis compares schizophrenics' encoding processing with that of…

Raulin, Michael L.; Chapman, Loren J. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
This study compared the effects of contextual constraint, "the extent to which the choice of a particular word depends upon the words that precede it" (Miller and Selfridge, 1950), and list length on short-term recall of word lists by 24 chronic schizophrenics and 120 normal subjects. (Editor/RK)

Meiselman, Karin C. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1978
Levitz and Ullmann's research (1969) was replicated, based on the findings that normal subjects can increase their number of uncommon associations in response to instructions and reinforcement. Results show that normals change their responses by means of an editing process and suggests this response is a "symptom" of normal flexibility rather than…

Koh, Soon D.; And Others – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
The question raised in this study was whether schizophrenics' recall deficit can be ameliorated if appropriate encoding behaviors are experimentally induced. (Editor)

Russell, Paul N.; Beekhuis, Margaret E. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
A total of 15 acute schizophrenics, 11 acute psychotic depressives, and 15 normal subjects completed a multitrial free-recall task. Results indicated that with lists of relatively high semantic content, the recall impairment displayed by schizophrenics and depressives stems mainly from an inability to completely use perceived structuring of the…
