Four experiments examined the effects of various instructions on the rate of false recognitions of synonyms, antonyms, nonsemantic associates, and homonyms. (Editor)

A learning-to-learn approach was taken in the present study in an attempt to draw the subjects' attention to the associative relations among items and to examine whether the presentation of four functionally equivalent interitem lists would result in the subjects' using a higher cognitive strategy. (Author/RK)

This experiment tested the hypothesis that attenuation of attention would be a direct function of lag and whether certain manipulations within the context of a self-paced study procedure would allow for an interpretation of the superior recall of distributed versus massed items by way of that hypothesis. (Author/RK)

This study examined the effect of both temporal and nontemporal cues on frequency judgments of items presented in one or both of two successive word lists. (Author)

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate more thoroughly the relative importance of consistencies of input as compared with output order in determining organization in the multitrial free recall of lists of maximally unrelated words. (Author)

Performance on the last few items of a 12-word list was impaired when a spoken "Recall" was used as the cue for recall, relative to performance with a nonverbal cue. This suffix effect occured with four types of recall instructions after auditory presentation, including instructions for conventional serial and after free recall. (Editor)

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)

The main hypothesis of this article was that differences in the placement of rehearsals in word list sequences affected the quality of information retained in memory in a predictable manner. (Author/RK)

Two memory theories predict that it should be possible to produce negative recency in initial recall. The first experiment provides a demonstration of that predicted negative recency effect. (Editor)

The role of instructions about list overlap was investigated in typical part-whole free-recall transfer and in partially overlapping lists where only half of List 1 was included in List 2. (Editor)

Three experiments were conducted to explore the conditions under which the presence of strong (repeated) items in a free recall list results in the reduced recall of weak (once-presented) items. (Editor)

This research examines different types of encoding strategies, in addition to semantic and organizational encodings, and their effects on schizophrenics' remembering. Based on Craik and Lockhart (1972), i.e., memory performance is a function of depth of encoding processing, this analysis compares schizophrenics' encoding processing with that of…

This study compared the effects of contextual constraint, "the extent to which the choice of a particular word depends upon the words that precede it" (Miller and Selfridge, 1950), and list length on short-term recall of word lists by 24 chronic schizophrenics and 120 normal subjects. (Editor/RK)
