The present study was designed to examine further the relation between amount of rehearsal and recall probability. (Author)

This study examined the effect of both temporal and nontemporal cues on frequency judgments of items presented in one or both of two successive word lists. (Author)

Two studies examined the influence of a single irrelevant vocalization on verbal recall of 10-item lists. (Editor)

This booklet, the product of a second seminar on the chemical transfer of memory, summarizes the current research work presented at the seminar including future implications for education as perceived by the 12 biochemists and psychologists who participated. Developments described include 1) the memory-transfer experiments of James McConnell from…

The present experiment contrasted the effects of one and three redundant elements on recall, when the elements prefixed either the stimulus or the response. (Editor)

Recent studies by Jones (1974) have posited that accurate movements in short-term motor memory (STMM) are mediated by the subject's ability to preset effector mechanisms and monitor their efferent output. Three experiments were conducted to examine this hypothesis. (Editor)

Nine years before the publication of Ebbinghaus's classic 1885 book on memory, an American physicist, Francis E. Nipher, published brief accounts of his own investigations on this topic. These accounts are reprinted, with commentary and a brief note about Nipher. (Editor)

Sets of pairs for a multiple-item recognition (verbal discrimination) learning task varied in their number of presentations during a single extended study trial. The test phase required old-new and right-wrong (functional) identifications of individual items. Results suggest that recognition of prior wrong items are mediated by frequency cues…

Attempts to determine whether a sufficiently demanding and difficult interpolated task (shadowing, i.e., repeating aloud) would decrease recall for earlier-presented items as well as for more recent items. Listening to music was included as a second interpolated task. Results support views that serial position effects reflect a single process.…

The present research was proposed to examine the effect of instructed mental imagery vs. rote repetition on recall. (Author/RK)

The present study was done to determine whether free retrieval of (all items from) a catergory in PS (permanent storage) could be increased by reminding Ss of items in that category. (Author/RK)

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)

This experiment was directed at clarifying the role of verbal associative responses in stimulus recognition. The effects of both distinctive and equivalent verbal labels were assessed. (Author/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…
