Verbal memory was investigated using two miniature artificial languages that were identical except for the design of their reference system. One reference field was illustrated as a set of continuous elements, the other as a holistic unit. (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)

Attempts to determine whether intentional forgetting instructions influence memory when the opportunity for rehearsal is restricted and whether the intentional forgetting phenomenon could be accounted for by a selective-search hypothesis which states that memory improvement is due to a smaller search set in the cued condition relative to the…

Some task variables that influence sentence coding, and the ways in which those influences appear to be manifested in performance were outlined. Trends in empirical data were examined as evidence for two classes of coding strategies. (Author/RK)

The concept of a scene schema was used to predict the kinds of information that will be remembered from complex pictures over relatively long periods of time. Recognition of eight types of transformations on both organized and unorganized pictures was tested either immediately following presentation or at intervals of a day, a week, or 4 months.…

Seven-digit strings were presented for immediate recall. Before recall, subjects either read or retrieved from memory a single item (response prefix). Results were seen in terms of the sharing of the limited capacity of an active memory system by the memory series, the response prefix, and the operations to retrieve and emit the items. (Editor/RK)

Represents a more complete test of Glanzer's model of memory than has been provided to date in that the overt rehearsal data offer a means of assessing whether subjects reorganize phonemically related items in short-term store. (Author/RK)

Most studies of memory emphasize the direct encoding of physical stimuli. In contrast, this research investigates memory for the internal stimuli that are generated during processing of a presented stimulus. (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 converging procedures were used to determine whether pictures presented in a rapid sequence at rates comparable to eye fixations are understood and then quickly forgotten. (Editor)

The present research represents an initial attempt to compare the results obtained using artificial information with results obtained in a typical semantic memory experiment. (Editor)

The purpose of the present experiment was to explore what it is that people remember about complex pictures. The experiment investigated several types of information which people might remember about two kinds of pictures, those which represent real-world scenes and those which represent collections of objects. (Author/RK)

Two studies investigated recognition of pictures of faces, focusing on the effects of changes in appearance of the face from presentation to test and type of processing or encoding. (Editor)

Sequences of seven tones were presented, and recognition memory for individual tones of each sequence was tested under varying degrees of context. (Editor)

The Peterson and Peterson short-term memory paradigm (1959) involves an interpolated task with several potential dimensions from which interference may originate: similarity of items and vocalization. This research assesses the relative interference potency of each on material presented either aurally or visually. (Editor/RK)
