Two experiments tested whether short-term memory accounts for the recency effect observed with rapid sequential presentation of nonverbal stimuli. (Editor)

The purposes of the present experiments were to attempt to reproduce the Estes and Taylor (1964) results (the number of items identified from a many-item array was as much as twice the full-report span of four or five items) and to compare them with the number of items reported in the full-report procedure.

The ability of multilinguals to remember the language of linguistically mixed material was studied in two experiments. (Editor)

These experiments demonstrated that it is possible to produce induced amnesia using a loud sound as the critical item when all other items are presented at normal conversational levels. (Author/RK)

An important issue in encoding theories of memory is the stability of encodings from one stimulus presentation to the next. Article investigate the use of homonyms as an approach to observing the changes in word associations. (Author/RK)

The principal aim of this research was to test the levels of processing approach to memory by directly varying the depth to which the input could be processed, as opposed to the earlier incidental learning tests of levels of processing, where the input was held constant across processing conditions.

The primary purpose of this research was to determine how imaginal and verbal encoding strategies interact with various stimulus characteristics to either enhance or retard recognition; the secondary purpose of these studies was to test the conceptual coding hypothesis of Ellis, 1972. (Editor)

Three experiments are described in which the qualitative nature of memorial processing was manipulated at both input (encoding) and output (retrieval). As in earlier research, it was found that retention levels were highest when the same type of information was used as a retrieval cue. Concludes that the notions of encoding specificity and depth…

Two experiments investigated the effects of a prior-cuing procedure on retention after short intervals. Results indicated that both latency of correct recall and category recall are facilitated by a cue statement administered prior to the recall test. Results are also discussed in relation to spreading-activation models of memory processing.…

The encoding specificity effect was examined in three recognition memory experiments employing an associative processing (cuing) task. (Editor)

Two experiments were conducted in which to-be-learned information was systematically structured into either a hierarchy of nested categories or a single level of categorical organization. (Editor)

Two experiments attempted to determine the importance of the integrating theme in memory for a prose passage. (Editor)

The ability to decide rapidly that two visual stimuli are nominally the same when they are also visually the same (the Posner effect) was examined for stimuli of increasing visual complexity (Experiment 1) and when a greater variety of visual differences between the two stimuli was employed (Experiment 2). (Editor)

The present study sought to demonstrate that under appropriate presentation conditions, presumably nonrecodable items like strings of random consonants rapidly presented a single time may be subjectively chunked to facilitate recall, the entire chunks becoming more readily accessible for retrieval than any other assemblage of the letters.

This article focused on the level of analysis at which two selection processes: filtering and pigeon holing, operate. (Author/RK)
