Sequences of seven tones were presented, and recognition memory for individual tones of each sequence was tested under varying degrees of context. (Editor)

Investigates the effects of verbal labels on the short-term retention of a simple motor skill. (Author/RK)

Demonstrates that categorization of speech sounds can be influenced by the phonetic structure of connected speech. (Editor/RK)

This article is concerned with the perceptual load in searching for a number of kinds of target which are presented for a fixed, short period of time. The aim is to establish data which any acceptable model of human information processing will need to fit. (Author)

The central question in these experiments concerns the effect of unattended printed words upon a picture-naming task to determine whether print can be read even when it is not being attended to. (Author/RK)

Presents three experiments that explore whether inescapable shock of long duration and moderate intensity (LoShk) produces an avoidance-escape deficit (called an interference effect) by causing animals to learn to respond less actively or by causing them to learn to be "helpless". (Editor)

Several experiments tested the occurrence of the "Kamin effect", i.e., the deficit in performance of an incompletely learned avoidance task, in terms of discrimination (choice) behavior by rats. (Editor/RK)

Repeated, isolated presentations of a stimulus typically reduce the subsequent ability of that cue to become an effective conditioned stimulus. This phenomenon is known as the latent inhibition effect. Four experiments investigate this effect. (Editor/RK)

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)

Investigates simple line drawings as they are represented in memory, attempts to validate a particular methodology which provides evidence about such representations, and proposes a theoretical algorithm that mechanically segments and assigns a psychological representation to a set of simple (nonsense) line drawings. (Author/RK)

If the N1 wave (amplitude component between 80-130 msec) does not serve as an index of an initial stimulus set stage of selection, the N1 amplitudes should be differentiated between channels whether the selection is based on pitch, spatial position, intensity, or cues that lead to an efficient rejection of unwanted information. This study…

The processing-capacity and arousal-level effects on choice between computer-generated "melodies" differing in complexity were compared in a divided-attention situation. (Editor)

Considers whether any sort of orthographic mechanism is used by fluent readers. (Author/RK)

The effects of real-world schemata on recognition of complex pictures were studied. Two kinds of pictures were used: pictures of objects forming real-world scenes and unorganized collections of the same objects. (Editor)
