This study examined the effect of both temporal and nontemporal cues on frequency judgments of items presented in one or both of two successive word lists. (Author)

The main hypothesis of this article was that differences in the placement of rehearsals in word list sequences affected the quality of information retained in memory in a predictable manner. (Author/RK)

The aim of the present study was partly to see whether the trade-off between item and attribute memory was a reliable phenomenon and partly to examine the strategies used by subjects in this task. (Author/RK)

Two experiments examined factors underlying false alarms on recognition tests when the elements of the test items were presented alone for study at different points in time, and when the elements were parts of different 2-element units during study. (Editor)

The two experiments reported here examined the effects on judgments of frequency of three independent variables: presentation frequency, spacing of repetitions, and orienting task. (Author)

The present research examines the encoding-variability theory and a blend of the voluntary-attention and habituation theories referred to herein as effort theory. (Author)

Recently, Nilsson (1975) challenged Watkins's conclusion that the modality effect is a post-categorical phenomenon. In this brief reply the authors argued that Nilsson's findings are not only consistent with the postcategorical interpretation but also inconsistent with the precategorical interpretation.

An experiment examined the mnemonic effects of initial testing with semantic, orthographic, temporal, and recognition cues. Results were interpreted within a levels-of-processing framework in which the nature of the information used in retrieval, rather than the speed or difficulty of retrieval determines subsequent accessibility. (Editor/RK)

Investigates the effectiveness of cues and the differences between cued-recall and free association tasks. (Author/RK)

If half of the items in a list are repeated over a series of trials while the remainder of the items are new on each trial, recall of the repeated items is impaired. Two experiments examined the list context effect and a list differentiation interpretation was supported. (Editor/RK)

Evidence for the hypothesis that the appearance of visually presented words is stored in "literal copy" form is critically evaluated and shown to be inconclusive. An experiment in which students were required to retain information about zero, one, or two visual properties of words is reported. (Editor)

Research has indicated that interference produced by the sharing of sensory features of paired-associate stimulus words was not eliminated by processing the pairs at the meaning level. These experiments were intended to extend the range of conditions under which the sensory interference effect might persist, and to incorporate the findings within…

Four experiments were conducted where words were recalled after presentation either in hierarchical fashion or in a matrix. The intention was to examine whether the original advantage for hierarchical retrieval systems could be duplicated for matrix systems, and if there was any particular advantage or disadvantage for either type of structure.…

Serial position curves for the immediate serial recall of supraspan word lists were investigated as a joint function of input modality and the frequency with which the list words occur in everyday usage. (Editor)

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)
