Learners are able to use 2 different types of knowledge to perform a skill. One type is a conscious mental model, and the other is based on memories of instances. The authors conducted 3 experiments that manipulated training conditions designed to affect the availability of 1 or both types of knowledge about an artificial grammar. Participants…

In 3 experiments, the authors determined whether remembering a source dimension created a more complete internal reinstatement of the encoded event and thus cued access to other source dimensions. Results consistently showed that memory for the 2 source dimensions was correlated: correct responses on 1 dimension were typically associated with…

Five experiments were conducted to address the question of whether source information could be accessed in the absence of being able to recall an item. The authors used a paired-associate learning paradigm in which cue-target word pairs were studied, and target recall was requested in the presence of the cue. When target recall failed,…

The main hypothesis of this article was that differences in the placement of rehearsals in word list sequences affected the quality of information retained in memory in a predictable manner. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present experiment was to clarify the nature of retrieving information from Long Term Storage by using forced recall as well as free recall to determine whether further search may lead to retrieval of additional repeated items. (Author/RK)

Three hundred and ninety-two high school graduates were tested for memory of names and portraits of classmates selected from yearbooks. (Editor)

The aim of the present study was partly to see whether the trade-off between item and attribute memory was a reliable phenomenon and partly to examine the strategies used by subjects in this task. (Author/RK)

Two experiments were conducted using the procedure reported by Wickens in 1972 for the study of relevant encoding dimensions in short-term memory. (Editor)

The present experiment was an attempt to determine whether, under different testing procedures and with different stimulus materials, an effect of poststimulus study time on picture recognition could be demonstrated. (Author)

Two memory theories predict that it should be possible to produce negative recency in initial recall. The first experiment provides a demonstration of that predicted negative recency effect. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate interference in pigeon short-term memory using an intertrial interference paradigm. (Author)

Research was conducted to clarify the previously reported recognition superiority of balanced over polarized homographs. (Editor)

The present study suggested that simple nameable pictures and individual words both involve the use of verbal processes in retention, and to about the same extent. (Author/RK)

The major question of interest in the present investigation was whether or not a UCS is more effectively represented in STM when its occurrence is relatively surprising as opposed to expected. (Author)

The major concern of the present experiment was to determine whether increased covert rehearsal is the sole cause of the release from proactive interference in short-term memory. (Editor)
