If an attentional cue affects retroactive interference, perhaps a similar mechanism underlies release from proactive interference. This study tested this hypothesis by inserting an attentional cue before the final trial in Wickens' paradigm. (Author/RK)

In this experiment an attempt was made to determine whether the perceptual system is capable of discriminating a moving pattern that is presented within the currently non-dominant field in binocular rivalry. (Author/RK)

The present experiment was done to investigate the abilities of an effective isolation dimension (size) in a Short Term Memory release-of-proactive inhibition design. (Author/RK)

Two experiments replicated and extended the "mere exposure" effect across the variables of race, sex, and level of initial favorability. (Editor)

The intent of this study is to compare tactile, visual and auditory temporal numerosity discrimination by having subjects count the number of stimuli presented to a single locus. (Author)

These experiments demonstrated that it is possible to produce induced amnesia using a loud sound as the critical item when all other items are presented at normal conversational levels. (Author/RK)

The work described demonstrated that not only do stimulus parameters have systematic effects upon brain activity as measured by the EEG, but that such effects have functional value and reflect aspects of efficiency. (Editor/RK)

Does similarity in the location and temporal intensity pattern of the CS and UCS permit more rapid conditioning despite the presence of stimulus pairings in all groups? The following experiments attempt to assess the role of such factors in determining the rate of acquisition of a conditioned emotional response. (Author)

The use of discrimination learning paradigms in the study of attentional transfer is discussed. (Editor)

Describes a series of experiments showing that in normal subjects (a) iconic storage occurs primarily in the retina in the photoreceptors and (b) under conditions of dark pre- and postexposure fields, the icon is mainly a rod phenomenon. Draws conclusions based on these experiments, discusses previous work done by others, and attempts to reconcile…

Non-verbal recall of haptically presented spatial positions by three age groups of blind and sighted children was tested under conditions varying cuing, recall type and stimulus position in a within-subject design. (Editor)

The 90 individually run subjects learned and were tested for their free recall of a conceptually unrelated hierarchy of words, a randomly arranged, or a properly arranged conceptual hierarchy, under instructions to process the words either by generating hierarchical associations among them or by copying them. (Editor)

The present experiment explores the roles of probe-digit position and the confirmation of responses on the retrievability of individual items in Short Term Memory. (Editor/RK)

The biorhythm theory of accident explanation that has been increasingly popularized in the business press was empirically examined. Municipal employees involved in work-related vehicular accidents and in on-the-job accidents provided the data. Each accident was analyzed to determine whether or not the accident occurred on a biorhythmically…

Of all the studies examining recognition of semantically related words, none has systematically varied lag to test the straightforward prediction of a monotonic decrease in false alarms to new words semantically related to prior words. The present experiment, using semantic associates, tested this prediction. (Author)
