Distinctiveness and Serial Position in Short term Memory for Lifted Weights
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Detterman, Douglas K. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The experiments presented in this study tried to validate and clarify the notion of distinctiveness and the assumptions on which it is based, particularly as it relates to prediction of the serial-position effect. (Author/RK)

Total Time Hypothesis in Low Meaningful Serial Learning: Task, Age, and Verbalization Instructions
Koffman, Elaine Cooper; Weinstock, Roy B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present experiment tested whether the Total Time Hypothesis would remain valid when either response availability or S interest was low. (Author/RK)

Effects of Output Order on Immediate, Delayed, and Final Recall Performance
Dalezman, Joseph J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Examines the effects of recall strategies on the serial position curve in immediate and delayed recall. (Author/RK)

Contextual Associations and Memory for Serial Position
Block, R. A.; Summers, J. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Purpose of experiment was to provide evidence for the role of contextual associations in memory for serial position because position judgments are affected by factors other than those correlated by time. (DS)

Recall and Use of Serial Position Information
Toglia, Michael P.; Kimble, Gregory A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Memory for serial position was examined in two experiments, while a third study investigated the extent to which such information could be put to use. (Editor)

Item and Order Information in Short-Term Serial Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Murdock, Bennet B., Jr. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1976
Deals with memory for lists of items. The literature is briefly reviewed, and the main difficulties for traditional explanations of serial order effects are noted. (RK)

Higher Order Organization in Serial Recall of Digits
Jones, Mari R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Two experiments compared Ss' serial recall of 16 hierarchically formed patterns of ordered digits. (Author)

Depth of Processing in Recall and Recognition Memory: Differential Effects of Stimulus Meaningfulness and Serial Position
Seamon, John G.; Murray, Pauline – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Structural and semantic levels of processing were distinguished in two experiments that varied stimulus meaningfulness in an incidental learning paradigm. (Editor)

Children's Perceptual Organization of Seriated Displays: Evidence Against a Memory Reorganization Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cromer, Richard F. – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
Results of this experiment provide support for the findings by Piaget & Inhelder (1973) that children's memory drawings of a seriated display improve over time as their cognitive abilities develop. (Author)

Short-term Serial Recall as a Function of Similarity, Serial Position, and Trials
McHugh, A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Research based on author's master thesis and supported by funds from the National Science Foundation. (DS)

Learning and Short-Term Recall by Chinese and American Students as a Function of Language, Mode of Presentation, and Noun Frequency.
Turnage, Thomas W.; McGinnies, Elliott – 1970
The study investigates the effects of linguistic medium (English vs. Chinese), mode of stimulus presentation (visual vs. auditory), and noun frequency on short-term serial recall and serial learning. The results indicate that auditory input facilitates learning for American subjects but not for Taiwanese subjects, who learned somewhat faster with…
