The purpose of the present study was to directly assess the strength and stability of acoustically mediated word associations under conditions which should maximize their occurrence. (Author)

If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

Describes three experiments which investigated the mechanism underlying memory for movement-extent cues in preselection. Experiment 1 showed that memory for movement extent was better for subjects who were allowed to preselect their own standard. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the role of active movement in preselected and nonpreselected movements.…

Tulving and others (Tulving, 1974; Tulving & Madigan, 1970) have distinguished two kinds of forgetting of verbal information: trace-dependent forgetting and cue-dependent forgetting. Attempts to determine which type occurs in retroactive inhibition of free-recall learning. (Author/RK)

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).

A general decision-theory analysis of the word-frequency effect in recognition memory is carried out. On the basis of the analysis and data from a forced-choice experiment two distinct causes of the frequency effect are defined. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to gather normative data bearing on the hierarchical organization of semantic memory. (Author)

Subjects received recognition, meaning, or truth-value instructions in a Bransford and Franks paradigm. The results of two trials indicated that subjects understood and performed very well under recognition and truth-value instructions when constraints on memory were removed. (Editor/RK)

The abstraction of prototypical information and the classification of new exemplars was investigated as a function of category size and the number of categories that had to be distinguished during learning. (Editor)

Article compared reception with selection stimulus-presentation procedures as research methods in human conceptual behavior. (Author/RK)

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. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this article is to focus on the consequences of conditioned response and conditioned response on trial i for response probability on trial i + 1. (Author)

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

Two concept learning experiments were performed in which the stimulus dimensions were applicable to persons. (Editor)

In a paired-associate paradigm, stimulus-response pairs were generated from a rule matrix. (Editor)
