Klein, G. A.; Klein, H. A. – Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present research investigated auditory and semantic encoding characteristics of the serial retention paradigm. (Author)

Nowaczyk, Ronald H.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
In three experiments Ss were presented with successively free-recall lists to examine proactive interference effects and changes in degree of learning in a short-term retention task. (Editor)

Pellegrino, James W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
The recall of picture and word triads was examined in three experiments that manipulated the type of distraction in a Brown-Peterson short-term retention task. (Editor)

Broder, Paul K.; Underwood, Benton J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Results of this experiment show that the lists composed of high-frequency words were more difficult to learn than lists composed of low-frequency words at all stages, but these lists were not differentially forgotten. (Editor)

Peer reviewedCraik, Fergus I. M.; Tulving, Endel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1975
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)

Bach, Mary Jean – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
One hundred twenty-eight Ss were presented 150 words for study, followed by a two-choice recognition test. (Editor)

Lauer, Patricia A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
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.

Peer reviewedPostman, Leo; Keppel, Geoffrey – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1977
The conditions and characteristics of cumulative proactive inhibition were investigated in three experiments. Subjects went through 8 study-recall cycles, with the critical tests of retention occurring 48 hours after acquisition. Results of the experiments suggest that cumulative proactive inhibition builds up only when retention is measured by…

Gotz, Axel; Jacoby, Larry L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Retention effects of retrieval practice and of predictability of recall delay were investigated in 2 experiments. (Editor)

Okada, Ronald; Carey, Stephen T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
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)

Light, Leah L.; Schurr, Sara C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Study is concerned with the nature of context effects in recognition memory of words. It also examines the relationship between encoding techniques utilized during input and the effects of contextual variation upon subsequent recognition performance. (Author)

Detterman, Douglas K.; Brown, Jane – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Free-recall (FR) instructions produce substantially different patterns of retention than serial recall (SR) instructions. In the present experiments an effort was made to determine to what extent two factors contribute to the dissimilarities between FR and SR. (Author/RK)

Hasher, Lynn; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Three studies investigate the effects of imagery on long-term retention in a free-recall task. (Editor)
