Aims at providing data for evaluating the proposition that associations between exteroceptive (outside) stimuli and illness play a role in determining the effect of unconditioned stimulus preexposure on subsequent taste aversion conditioning. (Author/RK)

Discusses four experiments concerned with environmental determiners of the taste familiarity effect. Specifically, external environmental stimulation experienced by the subject at the time of taste preexposure and taste conditioning was varied in order to assess its influence on taste aversion learning.

Two sets of measurements evaluated performance on typographically inverted text that students had learned to read 13 to 15 months earlier. (Editor)

In three experiments the location of pigeons was monitored during 20-second illuminations of a right or left key presented in various temporal relationships with food delivery. In general, subjects approached a signal positively correlated with food and withdrew from a signal negatively correlated with food. (Editor)

Subjects responded to pairs of test items from learned linear orderings (e.g., Tom is taller than Dick; Dick is taller than Sam, etc.). Results are compared with previous studies of ordered linguistic, perceptual, and numerical information. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments are reported that were designed to delineate the properties of the stimulus encoding stage in reaction time tasks of varying stimulus-response compatibility. (Editor)

The main finding of these four experiments was that the strong conditioning produced by a brief exposure to a truly random control weakened with prolonged exposure. (Author/RK)

Attempts to evaluate the hypothesis that rats are more hesitant to ingest novel-flavored substances while they are under the influence of a toxic agent than in the normal state. (Author/RK)

Two experiments were conducted in order to investigate the relationship between memory for individual sentences and memory for the holisitic ideas conveyed by those sentences. (Editor)

Three experiments evaluated the effect of poststimulus distractor characteristics in altering recognition of random shapes. (Editor)

Three experiments are reported investigating whether the decreasing recall over trials in the Brown-Peterson paradigm--proactive inhibition (PI)--derives from encoding or storage (availability) differences between items or from retrieval (accessibility) differences. (Editor)

The proposition that natural language concepts are represented as fuzzy sets, a generalization of the traditional theory of sets, of meaning components and that language operators--adverbs, negative markers, and adjectives--can be considered as operators on fuzzy sets was assessed empirically. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments were conducted in which expectations of learning and transfer based on associative theory or frequency theory differed from those based on a theory of mental imagery. (Editor)

Three experiments were conducted to investigate whether semantic information presented to the unattended ear in a dichotic listening experiment has a memory effect after 30 seconds. (Editor)

Three experiments contrasted subjects' memory for verbal and figural displays. Data are discussed in terms of a multiple coding model, which is suggested as a more fruitful approach than single-code models such as those proposed by Pylyshyn or Anderson and Bower. (Editor/RK)
