There has been considerable debate in recent years about the status of "imagery" in problem solving. The present experiment attempts to show that while subjects may employ representational strategies when they first encounter a class of problems, they abandon such strategies as they gain experience with the problems.

The application of nominally identical transfer paradigms within short- and long-term memory contexts may, for whatever reason, yield strikingly different outcomes. (Author)

An expected interaction of feedback with retention interval was found only in the conditional probability intrusion and recognition data. This supported assumptions concerning the adequacy of the conditional probability measure as a relatively unbiased strength measure. (Editor)

This study is designed to investigate the effects of cue discriminability on discriminative performance. (Author)

This experiment failed to find any input-specific output-interference effects which were evidenced by earlier experiments dealing with the discrete recall of single items. (Author)

The purpose of the two experiments was to investigate the possibility that kinesthetic location information has retention characteristics that are different from those of kinesthetic distance information and also to evaluate certain assumptions of the assimulation theory of motor short term memory. (Author)

Authors note that Fehrer and Biederman's two statistical tests were not of equal power and that their conclusion could be a statistical artifact of both the lesser power of the verbal report comparison and the insensitivity of their particular verbal report indicator. (Editor)

Findings of this survey indicate that important differences exist between experimenters and students on various issues of human research--psychologists expressing views much more ethically stringent than those by their most typical human subjects. (Authors)

Subjects discussed or studied situations involving conflicts between universalistic and particularistic obligations, or they discussed items dealing with physical education. A shift toward greater universalism was obtained only in the condition where subjects discussed the conflicts. (RB)

Using Ss high or low on a social desirability scale, a verbal conditioning attempt was made to alter the relative frequency of self referent statements that were either positive or negative. (Author)

This report describes the introductory psychology demonstration showing conditioned taste aversion in rats based on those animals' inability to distinguish between safe NaCl and toxic LiCl solutions. Test results showed the established phenomena of classical conditioning. Included is a discussion of the experiments relevance to behaviorist…

Describes two experiments testing the hypothesis that thematic titles largely relieve the reader of the task of constructing a sense from coherent texts. Finds that such titles significantly increase free recall of structured or slightly disorganized texts, while only prolonged reading allows titles to raise recall of an unstructured text. (MES)

Reviewed is the work of W. H. Winch, a major pioneer of research in educational psychology in Britain in the early 1900s. He emphasized the need for research to be related to the teacher's classroom situation. (KC)

Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

In the first of two experiments investigating the inhibitory effect of cuing, the taxonomic frequencies of cue words and critical words were manipulated orthogonally. (Editor)
