Two hypothesis regarding the recall of noun triplets through the use of imagery were investigated in a cued-recall study. (Editor)

The present experiment supports the hypothesis that the letter is the basic perceptual unit in letter, nonword, and word identification. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to extend the functional learning paradigm to the case where the relation to be learned is not stationary. (Author)

The present experiment was intended to assess the effects of pronunciation on frequency judgment variability in a between-Ss design. (Author)

The present experiment was designed to investigate recognition memory processes in a task in which the items to be recognized were stored in long-term memory (LTM), in short-term memory (STM), or in both memory stores. (Author/RK)

There has been considerable debate in recent years about the status of "imagery" in problem solving. The present experiment attempts to show that while subjects may employ representational strategies when they first encounter a class of problems, they abandon such strategies as they gain experience with the problems.

The document is a summary of the conference proceedings for the 23rd Annual Farmingdale State College Teaching of Psychology Conference held on March 20-21, 2009 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Tarrytown, New York. The conference featured a keynote address by Dr. Jeffrey Nevid on Reaching and teaching the millennials: Helping today's students become…

Based on hypotheses on relationships between curiosity, anxiety, and performance, this study correctly predicted that high state curiosity students had lower levels of state anxiety and performed better in the computer-assisted instruction learning program than low state curiosity students. One hundred and fifty-two female undergraduates were…

The relationship between conservatism and openness to experience was examined. One study found that conservatism was significantly related to the scores on the Coan Experience Inventory. The other study demonstrated that high conservative subjects were less willing to volunteer for psychological experiments requiring openness. (Author/MV)

The present experiments have served to reduce the distinction between the clustering of items from a categorized list and the subjective organization of items from an unrelated list. (Author)

The present report describes an expanded replication of the previous experiments in a nonlaboratory real-play setting unique to the experimental literature on decision processes - a casino in downtown Las Vegas. (Author)

The present study examined current hypotheses concerning information transfer from short-term memory (STM) to long-term memory (LTM) using a Peterson STM task with word triplets presented over retention intervals of 0, 3, 6, 9, and 18 sec. (Editor)

It was found in a retention test that progressive elaboration was superior to single-response elaboration, as in the Bower and Reitman (1972) study; the present study was an extension of that Bower and Reitman study. (Author/RK)

The present study tested the generality of the disparity between interpair and intrapair conditions by employing a different form of semantic relatedness, viz., bilingual. (Author)

The present experiment attempted to magnify the effects of organization by modality by providing Ss with an opportunity to learn how to organize by modality. (Author)
