in the present dichotic memory research, the addition of either a monaural stimulus suffix on the unattended ear or a binaural suffix was shown to selectively impair unattended-ear performance. (Editor)

The Ss were required to retain a short list of items for an entire experiment while processing successive different short lists of items in the Sternberg paradigm. (Editor)

The present experiemnt is an attempt to further clarify the relationship between rehearsal and retention. (Author)

The data from this study support the hypothesis that the encoding of a letter, as well as operations associated with responding, requires attention in the sense of processing capacity. (Author)

Presents a computer simulation testing semantic networks and spreading activation models of human memory. Describes how a sentence is encoded by building a working memory structure from its words and from semantic memory concepts related to its meaning. Retrieval processes use cue words or sentences to locate working memory structures. (Author/MES)

Reports on four experiments exploring the relationship between decision difficulty and subsequent retention. (Author/AM)

Investigates the nature of the rhythmic process mediating multiple retention deficits in rats, i.e., whether it was induced by a training procedure or based on a pre-existing physiological rhythm. Also concerns the mechanism of the rhythm's effect on retention performance, whether it affects performance factors per se or the retrieval of prior…

Tests the theory that culturally associated words in a pair and nonassociated words in a pair differ after a single study trial in terms of their frequency representation in memory. (Editor/RK)

To determine whether perceptual asymmetries for faces occur at early or late stages of stimulus analysis, subjects compared the members of a pair of faces which appeared in the right or left visual field, either to each other or to a previously presented sample. (Editor)

If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

Addresses three specific problems in children's noun-pair learning: (a) the storage versus retrieval locus of the presentation-mode effect; (b) the storage versus retrieval locus of elaboration effects; and (c) assessment of the effects of congruence on elaborative facilitation. (Editor)

It is a common assumption that memories consist of sets of interrelated features of attributes. Rigorous and direct investigation of the functional properties of these sets has been relatively neglected. Questions whether the interrelationships of different components are reflexive or asymmetric and how components interact when more than one is…

An information processing model, Memory-Aided Pattern Perceiver (MAPP), that simulates the recall of briefly presented chess positions, was subjected to a test of its assumption that such positions are encoded and stored as chunks in short-term memory. (Editor)

Looks at the processes by which information from individual input events combines to form a mentally represented linear order. (Author/RK)

The role of differential rehearsal opportunity in the free recall of remember- (R) and forget- (F) cued words was investigated as a function of the method of presentation. (Editor)
