In three experiments Ss were presented with successively free-recall lists to examine proactive interference effects and changes in degree of learning in a short-term retention task. (Editor)

The present experiment measured the effects that shadowing (repeating aloud) a series of aurally presented items has on the reading process. (Author/RK)

To show how a subject's memory of previous responses and their outcomes affects responding, as in Buchwald's cognitive model, the subject in the present study had to recall his previous response and its outcome before choosing the correct response. (Editor/RK)

Two experiments were conducted to determine whether experimenter-imposed organizational strategies in a free-recall list would affect forgetting over a one-week retention interval. (Editor)

The general purpose of this experiment was to determine whether differences in stimulus discrimination, as determined by the MIR (missing-item recognition) test, are correlated with interference in recall, as demanded by the discriminative coding hypothesis. (Author/RK)

The present study investigated how much surface structure and meaning is retained when subjects process sentences at different levels of analysis at presentation. (Author/RK)

Two experiments examined memory load, rule frequency, and rule arrangement in the prediction learning of serial digit patterns. (Editor)

This study was designed to investigate recall in preschool children, specifically the cuing technique and possible storage-retrieval differences. Forty-eight 4-years-old were divided into two groups. In the blocked presentation condition, items were presented in category sets of three items, with all items from a single category on cards of one…

Part of the unique status of picture recognition ability may lie in the procedure used to assess the ability and the great complexity of the stimulus itself. Pictures coupled with the recognition procedure may produce unexpected results, as this article attempted to demonstrate. (Author/RK)

Pictures of common objects apparently function as effective memory representations without evoking their corresponding name codes. The first three experiments of this report were designed to explore the limits of the independence of the naming process by varying relationships between the labels for the pictures and their responses.

The present study attempts to systematically examine the effects of lag on memory for both repeated and nonrepeated letter pairs. (Author)

The two experiments reported here examined the effects on judgments of frequency of three independent variables: presentation frequency, spacing of repetitions, and orienting task. (Author)

The present research examines the encoding-variability theory and a blend of the voluntary-attention and habituation theories referred to herein as effort theory. (Author)

Two experiments tracked the acquisition of skilled reading as college students read as many as 160 pages of geometrically inverted text and assessed the consequence for memory of skill at reading. Results were interpreted in terms that emphasized an operational basis to memory--pattern-analyzing procedures rather than conscious contents.…

Recently, Nilsson (1975) challenged Watkins's conclusion that the modality effect is a post-categorical phenomenon. In this brief reply the authors argued that Nilsson's findings are not only consistent with the postcategorical interpretation but also inconsistent with the precategorical interpretation. (Author/RK)
