The present paper asked whether certain sources of short-term forgetting, proactive interference and interpolated task difficulty, exerted their influences in STS, LTS, or both. (Author/RK)

Article addressed itself to generality and examined the claim that Tulving and his associates have in fact demonstrated recognition failure of recallable words. (Author/RK)

Both recognition and recall of pictures improve as picture presentation time increases and as time between picture increases. This experiment was compared with an earlier one by Shaffer and Shiffrin (1972). (Editor/RK)

The effects on free recall of presenting words twice with different numbers of intervening items (spacings) and three times with different amounts and patterns of spacing were examined. (Editor)

An important issue in encoding theories of memory is the stability of encodings from one stimulus presentation to the next. Article investigate the use of homonyms as an approach to observing the changes in word associations. (Author/RK)

The principal aim of this research was to test the levels of processing approach to memory by directly varying the depth to which the input could be processed, as opposed to the earlier incidental learning tests of levels of processing, where the input was held constant across processing conditions.

The primary purpose of this research was to determine how imaginal and verbal encoding strategies interact with various stimulus characteristics to either enhance or retard recognition; the secondary purpose of these studies was to test the conceptual coding hypothesis of Ellis, 1972. (Editor)

Three experiments are described in which the qualitative nature of memorial processing was manipulated at both input (encoding) and output (retrieval). As in earlier research, it was found that retention levels were highest when the same type of information was used as a retrieval cue. Concludes that the notions of encoding specificity and depth…

Two experiments investigated the effects of a prior-cuing procedure on retention after short intervals. Results indicated that both latency of correct recall and category recall are facilitated by a cue statement administered prior to the recall test. Results are also discussed in relation to spreading-activation models of memory processing.…

Reports an experiment with tasks involving memory search for a given probe word with respect to a set of semantic category labels for subjects in a word comparison task and a set of semantic category labels for subjects in the categorization task. The memory search process is fundamentally different in categorization and comparison tasks. (CLK)

The present study was designed to test the effect of instructions to forget prior motor learning and the results were relevant to the understanding of short-term motor memory (STMM) proactive interference (PI). (Author/RK)

Two experiments tested a set of predictions regarding category definitions and categorization latencies. Neither prediction was supported by the experiment results, leading to the formulation of an alternative feature-based model of category definitions using the notion of a polymorphous concept. (Author/AM)

The relation between orientation task and resultant structure of the memory trace was studied using an incidental learning paradigm. Twenty subjects examined 50 pairs for meaningful associations (semantic task), and 20 for rhymes (nonsemantic task). (Editor)

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)

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