The present experiment showed that material which is passively or mechanically read is, at least in part, retained. In addition, material which is passively read influences the learning of subsequent material. (Author)

The present experiment was designed to investigate recognition memory processes in a task in which the items to be recognized were stored in long-term memory (LTM), in short-term memory (STM), or in both memory stores. (Author/RK)

The Sperling 1960 procedure of full and partial report was used with tachistoscopically presented arrays of 100-msec. duration in two separate experiments. (Editor)

There has been considerable debate in recent years about the status of "imagery" in problem solving. The present experiment attempts to show that while subjects may employ representational strategies when they first encounter a class of problems, they abandon such strategies as they gain experience with the problems. (Editor)

An expected interaction of feedback with retention interval was found only in the conditional probability intrusion and recognition data. This supported assumptions concerning the adequacy of the conditional probability measure as a relatively unbiased strength measure. (Editor)

This experiment failed to find any input-specific output-interference effects which were evidenced by earlier experiments dealing with the discrete recall of single items. (Author)

The purpose of the two experiments was to investigate the possibility that kinesthetic location information has retention characteristics that are different from those of kinesthetic distance information and also to evaluate certain assumptions of the assimulation theory of motor short term memory. (Author)

Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

The results of four experiments show that (a) recall superiority over recognition is reversed by the use of unrelated word pairs in the study list, and (b) the reversal of recall superiority leaves intact the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words. (Editor)

Investigates the effectiveness of cues and the differences between cued-recall and free association tasks. (Author/RK)

If half of the items in a list are repeated over a series of trials while the remainder of the items are new on each trial, recall of the repeated items is impaired. Two experiments examined the list context effect and a list differentiation interpretation was supported. (Editor/RK)

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)

Tulving and Thomson's encoding specificity effect was examined as a function of grammatical class and concreteness of the cues. (Editor)

Evidence for the hypothesis that the appearance of visually presented words is stored in "literal copy" form is critically evaluated and shown to be inconclusive. An experiment in which students were required to retain information about zero, one, or two visual properties of words is reported. (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)
