Does the Wickens STM Technique Tap Encoding in Young Children?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smothergill, Daniel W. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Response to article Development of the ability to encode within evaluative dimensions,'' Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972, 13, 210-19. (EJ 053 728). (CB)

Young Children's Coding and Storage of Visual and Verbal Material
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Perlmutter, Marion; Myers, Nancy Angrist – Child Development, 1975
Recognition memory performances of preschool children were compared in nine combinations of visual-only, verbal-only, and combined visual-verbal presentation test conditions. Subjects generally performed at a high level of correct responding. Verbal-only presentation resulted in less correct recognition than did either visual-only or combined…

Words and Pictures as Distinct Encoding Categories in Short-Term Memory
Wells, J. Elisabeth – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Results of this experiment show a considerable release from proactive inhibition with a shift from words to pictures or pictures to words, thus adding one more change to the considerable number of category changes which produce the release phenomenon. (Author/CB)

The Use of Visual and Verbal Memory Processes by Three-Year-Old Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jones, Helen R. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Results indicated that the combined visual-verbal study materials produced performance superior to visual materials alone, which in turn were superior to verbal materials alone. (Author)

Sequential Memory for Pictures and the Role of the Verbal System
Nelson, Douglas L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if the verbal system is involved in coding pictorial reresentations when the task requires the acquisition of their relative order. (Author)

Structure in Semantic Memory: A Probabilistic Approach Using a Continuous Response Task.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Millsap, Roger E.; Meredith, William – Psychometrika, 1987
The slower progress of semantic memory research is attributed to the difficulties involved in testing the relevant theories. This paper proposes a model for testing such theories using the Continuous Response (CR) task. The model establishes a link between the rate of recall and the semantic relationships among the category items. (JAZ)

What Learning-Disabled Readers Fail to Retrieve on Verbal Dichotic Tests: A Problem of Encoding, Retrieval, or Storage?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Swanson, H. Lee – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1987
Fifth-grade learning disabled and skilled readers (N=32) were compared on verbal dichotic listening tasks for free recall and cued recall of word lists organized by semantic, phonemic, and structural features. Results indicated that disabled readers were comparable on free recall but were inferior to skilled readers on cued recall. (Author/JW)

Siegel, Alexander W.; Allik, Judith P. – 1972
Kindergarten, second-grade, fifth-grade, and college subjects were tested in a serial-position recall task under each of four conditions: Visual stimuli/visual recall cue, visual stimuli/auditory recall cue, auditory stimuli/visual recall cue, auditory stimuli/auditory recall cue. Visual stimuli were pictures of common animals and objects;…
