Three converging procedures were used to determine whether pictures presented in a rapid sequence at rates comparable to eye fixations are understood and then quickly forgotten. (Editor)

Tulving and Thomson's encoding specificity effect was examined as a function of grammatical class and concreteness of the cues. (Editor)

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)

The present research represents an initial attempt to compare the results obtained using artificial information with results obtained in a typical semantic memory experiment. (Editor)

This research was designed to investigate sentence comprehension and recall through an examination of cue effectiveness. It was expected that a cue which contained information about an object that was a probable inference from the sentence would be an effective recall cue. (Author/RK)

This research investigates why it is that the more concrete the subject noun phrase of a sentence, the more likely the predicate is to be recalled when the subject noun phrase is the cue. (Editor/RK)

One possibility explored in the present study is that semantic encoding and, consequently, the usefulness of interitem relations in recall depend not only on attention to meaning but also on the particular attributes of meaning on which one's attention is focused during study of the words. (Author)

The present study was conducted to explore directly the effects of pronunciation on the frequency-meaningfulness relationship. (Author)

The recall of picture and word triads was examined in three experiments that manipulated the type of distraction in a Brown-Peterson short-term retention task. (Editor)

In the present study an attempt was made to investigate the duality of encoding mechanisms via instructional sets that were independent of stimulus characteristics. (Author)

Two experiments employed an incidental learning paradigm to assess mnemonic control processes. (Editor)

The question under investigation in the present paper is whether subjects can effectively use retention interval information under demanding acquisition and retention conditions, specifically, to evaluate the contribution of retention interval information to memory performance when temporal information is made explicitly available. (Author/RK)

The three experiments reported in this article were concerned with the question of how response factors influence the process of stimulus encoding. (Author)

The purpose of the present experiment was to explore what it is that people remember about complex pictures. The experiment investigated several types of information which people might remember about two kinds of pictures, those which represent real-world scenes and those which represent collections of objects. (Author/RK)

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…
