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 the present dichotic memory research, the addition of either a monaural stimulus suffix on the unattended ear or a binaural suffix was shown to selectively impair unattended-ear performance. (Editor)

This experiment was designed to investigate retroactive inhibition in free recall of categorized work lists with categories defined as sets of rhymes. (Editor)

This study attempts to discriminate between 2 theories about strategies Ss use when trying to remember a linear ordering. (Editor)

The Ss were required to retain a short list of items for an entire experiment while processing successive different short lists of items in the Sternberg paradigm. (Editor)

It is proposed that in the process of letter perception a preliminary nonverbal code is available in the right hemisphere until superceded by a verbal code in the left hemisphere. (Editor)

The present experiemnt is an attempt to further clarify the relationship between rehearsal and retention. (Author)

The data from this study support the hypothesis that the encoding of a letter, as well as operations associated with responding, requires attention in the sense of processing capacity. (Author)

One methodological moral to be drawn from the article is that learning" as used in some scientific theories of behavior bears little relation to learning" as used in the classroom. (Author/MB)

Discusses three sorts of psychological science: Science 1, a natural science with conditional (causal) laws; Science 2, with probabilistic laws; and Science 3, a "human science" trying to capture the complexity of human experience and behavior. Argues that Science 2 and Science 3 should be treated as belief systems which people may find useful for…

Psychology departments in U.S., Canadian, English, and Irish universities were asked to describe their practices concerning student participation as subjects in experiments. Experimental participation as a requirement, with other options to fulfill that requirement, has become the most popular form of subject pool. The educational value is…

Presents a computer simulation testing semantic networks and spreading activation models of human memory. Describes how a sentence is encoded by building a working memory structure from its words and from semantic memory concepts related to its meaning. Retrieval processes use cue words or sentences to locate working memory structures. (Author/MES)
