The purpose of the present experiment was to study storage properties of dual codes for pictures and words by manipulating instructions and to study retrieval properties by manipulating the representational form of the test items. (Author)

Free-recall (FR) instructions produce substantially different patterns of retention than serial recall (SR) instructions. In the present experiments an effort was made to determine to what extent two factors contribute to the dissimilarities between FR and SR. (Author/RK)

This article closely follows an address given before the American Association of School Administrators (Atlantic City, February 18, 1969).

Three experiments are reported introducing variations in testing mode and cuing context into the general procedures used to demonstrate recognition failure of recallable words. The study concludes that recognition failure phenomena represent a special class of context effects. (Editor/RK)

The relationship between the depth to which a word is initially processed and its eventual probability of being recognized was investigated with amnesiac (alcoholic Korsakoff) patients. (Editor)

This research tested Paivio's (1971) proposal that pictorial and verbal memory codes interact with space and time. This "interaction hypothesis" states that pictorial memory codes are specialized for spatial structures and verbal memory codes are specialized for temporal structures. Tests this hypothesis by exploring several variations…

Describes three experiments which investigated the mechanism underlying memory for movement-extent cues in preselection. Experiment 1 showed that memory for movement extent was better for subjects who were allowed to preselect their own standard. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the role of active movement in preselected and nonpreselected movements.…

Two free-recall experiments were performed in which the subjects were required to rehearse items an equal number of times, but the number of items presented at a given time was varied. The main hypothesis was that increasing the number of items presented at once would increase processing demands and decrease performance. (Editor)

It has been demonstrated that instructions to learn have no effect on immediate recall in the incidental learning paradigm used by Jenkins (1974). This research further investigated this finding by factorially manipulating recall instructions (incidental vs. intentional learning), presentation rate of materials, retention interval, and type of…

This study tests the idea that visual presentation leads to higher performance on a delayed recall test than auditory presentation. It is predicted that the normal immediate free recall procedure yields a different pattern of results on a delayed test than a condition having immediate recall of each list. (CLK)

Reports on four experiments designed to compare the accuracy of the listener's memory for information associated with the thematic and nonthematic portions of sentences. Results are consistent with the identification of the nonthematic portion of a sentence as the locus of new ideas conveyed to the language recipient. (CLK)

The present study affirms the importance of an audience in the production of social arousal, a conclusion most strongly supported by the finding that the best short-term and poorest long-term recall, suggesting low arousal, were shown by Ss with whom E was physically present but inattentive. (Author)

In the present study, an attempt was made to determine whether temporal patterning and speach processes comparable to those obtained with categorized materials are involved in the recall of higher order units formed intraexperimentally. (Author)

Three experiments extended the 1971 findings of J. S. Reitman that Ss presented with 3 words could spend 15 sec. detecting tones in white noise without forgetting the three words. (Editor)

Article describes two processes in free recall: a retrieval process and a recognition process. Experiments confirmed the predicted dissociation of recognition and retrieval. (Author/ML)
