Jacoby, Larry L. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Reports on research showing that when an event, or a problem, is repeated, the processing of that event is not necessarily repeated. Instead, sometimes the solution is remembered, and this is shown to influence subsequent retention, as well as such tasks as word perception. (AM)
