The effects of real-world schemata on recognition of complex pictures were studied. Two kinds of pictures were used: pictures of objects forming real-world scenes and unorganized collections of the same objects. (Editor)

Recent research has suggested that outcome feedback is not the optimal form of feedback for learning complex interference tasks. The present experiment was designed to test the effects of outcome feedback against cognitively oriented feedback in a number of linear tasks. (Editor)

The difficulty of four binary conceptual rules (conjunctive, disjunctive, conditional, and biconditional) was assessed using the rule-learning paradigm in a variety of stimulus populations. (Editor)

Individual items were tested for old-new and right-wrong identifications following one, two, or four study trials on a multiple-item recognition learning task. The pattern found for functional identifications suggests that frequency cues may be supplemented by other kinds of cues that enhance identifications of items in terms of their prior study…

The role of differential processing opportunities in directed forgetting was investigated in two free-recall experiments. (Editor)

The purpose of this investigation was to determine more clearly whether the phenomenon of language retention is found at higher levels of complexity. (Author)

Two paired-associate (PA) learning studies observed the acquisition performance of 85 college students with either odors or abstract figures as stimuli and numbers as responses. (Editor)

Memory trigrams were presented by one of three methods: visual-concurrent (all three letters appeared simultaneously), visual-successive, and auditory-successive. (Editor)

Several computer simulation models of memory represent human knowledge in terms of labeled networks of interconnected ideas. This article attempted to learn in such models how these networks are searched to retrieve relevant information. (Author/RK)

Tulving's encoding specificity principle was examined in two experiments. The main comparison concerned the relationship between the retrieval cue or recognition context and input cue. (Editor)

Two experiments investigated long-term retention subsequent to directed forgetting. (Editor)

The present study, by requiring subjects to decide whether the two words in a stimulus pair have the same or different meanings, is an attempt to measure the time necessary to encode a printed word into a representation of its meaning which is available for subsequent matching. (Author)

The present study used a two-choice spatial probability-learning situation (Bitterman, 1975; Wilson & Oscar, 1966) in order to explore the hypothesis that Korsakoff patients differ from control subjects in the way in which they respond to changes in reinforcement contingencies. (Author)

In the present study each subject's rehearsal strategy was monitored by recording his eye movements as he studied a series of lists of eight simultaneously presented words. (Author/RK)

Two codes that provide access to the identity of an item in memory are the initial letter of its name and the name of a category to which it belongs. This research compares the characteristics of these two modes of access to the identity of a memory trace. (Author/RK)
