Inhibition of return (IOR) is modulated by task set and appears later in discrimination tasks than in detection tasks. Several hypotheses have been suggested to account for this difference. We tested three of these hypotheses in two experiments by examining the influence of cue and target level of processing on the onset of IOR. In the first…

Boundedly rational heuristics for inference can be surprisingly accurate and frugal for several reasons. They can exploit environmental structures, co-opt complex capacities, and elude effortful search by exploiting information that automatically arrives on the mental stage. The fluency heuristic is a prime example of a heuristic that makes the…

The present study was designed to test the effect of instructions to forget prior motor learning and the results were relevant to the understanding of short-term motor memory (STMM) proactive interference (PI). (Author/RK)

Two hypothesis regarding the recall of noun triplets through the use of imagery were investigated in a cued-recall study. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to extend the functional learning paradigm to the case where the relation to be learned is not stationary. (Author)

The present experiment was intended to assess the effects of pronunciation on frequency judgment variability in a between-Ss design. (Author)

The present report describes an expanded replication of the previous experiments in a nonlaboratory real-play setting unique to the experimental literature on decision processes - a casino in downtown Las Vegas. (Author)

The present study tested the generality of the disparity between interpair and intrapair conditions by employing a different form of semantic relatedness, viz., bilingual. (Author)

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

These experiments contrasted recognition with cued recall. It was learned that cued recall was consistently better for idioms than for phrases. (Author/RK)

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the size of the sound stimulus employed in the first stage of speech recognition. (Author)

Retention effects of retrieval practice and of predictability of recall delay were investigated in 2 experiments. (Editor)

Two experiments examined the role of meaningfulness (m), perceptual grouping, and organizational factors in recognition memory of consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) trigram stimuli. (Editor)

The aim of the present study was to extend the findings relating to the role of imagery in verbal learning and retrieval to the solution of anagrams. (Author)
