One of the objectives of the present study was to examine the role of conceptual structure in learning when position in the series and stimulus number were not confounded. (Author/RK)

Food words were considered as conditioned stimuli that elicit an appetitive emotional response. (Editor)

A list discrimination paradigm was used to examine the effects of orienting tasks upon the later temporal discrimination of words. The orienting task involved judgments about the relatedness of the words in a list to some concept. (Editor)

The three studies described in this section were undertaken to examine further aspects of depth of processing and to throw more light on the factors underlying good memory performance. (Author)

Assesses the influence of rehearsal on recognition reaction times for items from target lists of a length exceeding the span of immediate memory. Also determines what effect, if any, the length of the target list has on recognition latencies that involve only retrieval from inactive memory. (Author/RK)

The present experiment uses a variation of the repeti design of Hebb (1961) to ask the question of the fate of individual items in the Brown-Peterson task at a time when, if interference does indeed dissipate, the old items that produce interference should no longer be available to compete with new items.

Different groups of 27 Ss learned lists of high- or low-imagery nouns or adjectives in a part-whole transfer experiment. (Editor)

In 5 experiments, a Hebb repetition effect, that is, improved immediate serial recall of an (unannounced) repeating list, was demonstrated in the immediate serial recall of visual materials, even when use of phonological short-term memory was blocked by concurrent articulation. The learning of a repeatedly presented letter list in one modality…

This experiment attempts to maximize orthographic while reducing semantic bases for processing by using lists of words from a single category (girl's first names), presenting the first letter as a cue for each word during both study and recall trials, and blocking together all words with the same first letter.

The present studies were designed to compare whole-list reproduction (Experiment 1) and whole-list relearning (Experiment 11) for experimental and control Ss after each group had learned its respective part list. (Author)
