Attempts to define the relationships between four measures of recall in a two-recall task, namely (a) initial short-term recall (STR), (b) unconditional final free recall (FFR), (c) final free recall conditionalized on an initial successful recall (FFR/STR), and (d) final free recall conditionalized on an unsuccessful recall (FFR/STR).

Two experiments examined the effect on recall of a response prefix, a redundant element emitted after the presentation of a memory series but before recall was completed. (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.

Two studies examined the influence of a single irrelevant vocalization on verbal recall of 10-item lists. (Editor)

Unidirectional associates were used in a test of the encoding specificity principle with single items. Strong preexperimental associates were effective retrieval cues even when encoding conditions were not conducive to the establishment of a target-cue association. Results suggested that the presence of weak cues on the test reduced the…

The present experiment contrasted the effects of one and three redundant elements on recall, when the elements prefixed either the stimulus or the response. (Editor)

Recent studies by Jones (1974) have posited that accurate movements in short-term motor memory (STMM) are mediated by the subject's ability to preset effector mechanisms and monitor their efferent output. Three experiments were conducted to examine this hypothesis. (Editor)

Two experiments were conducted to examine the input-order effect reported by Birnbaum (1975); he demonstrated that free recall of two-digit numbers presented in natural ascending order is superior to free recall of the same numbers presented in random order. (Author/RK)

The effects of the outcomes "right" and "wrong" upon subsequent correct responding in paired-associate learning have recently been interpreted as a function of subject's memory of previous responses and their outcomes. Tests that interpretation in two experiments of recall procedures. (Editor/RK)

The present study suggested that simple nameable pictures and individual words both involve the use of verbal processes in retention, and to about the same extent. (Author/RK)

These experiments attempted to discriminate among theories of the spaced-practice effect and to further explore the phenomenon of proactive interference. (Author/RK)

Three experiments addressed the problem of isolating the effects of sensory similarity on subprocesses involved in coding paired associates. (Editor)

Subjects learned three different paragraphs and then were tested for their memory after one of the three test intervals. Results showed differential decay functions for recognition and inferential memory. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments were conducted to explore the conditions under which the presence of strong (repeated) items in a free recall list results in the reduced recall of weak (once-presented) items. (Editor)

Investigates the effect of specificity on retention following nonsemantic processing. Five experiments are reported in which structural specificity was manipulated along with either phonemic or orthographic dimensions, and process specificity was manipulated by variations in the nonsemantic orienting tasks. Data are interpreted in terms of a…
