Pattern of results is discussed in terms of the conceptualization that imitation required both that the observer (1) has acquired and retained the model's responses and (2) has been placed in circumstances which favor activating this learning into overt performance. (Authors)

The similarity match took longer than the identity match, and the difference in latency increased as the number of lines in the pattern increased. (Author)

Study is concerned with the commonalities between the development of skill and the development of problem solving. (Authors)

Nonsense syllables and two-arm semaphore" positions were the tasks in this study of experience free learning. (MB)

Hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis (HACA) may yield different solutions under permutations of the input order of the data. This instability is caused by ties, either in the initial proximity matrix or arising during agglomeration. The authors recommend to repeat the analysis on a large number of random permutations of the rows and columns…

Free recall showed a drop in primacy with practice whereas reconstruction did not, which suggests that temporal tags per se may be relatively unimportant as retrieval cues for the recall of early list members. (Authors)

Results showed that naming latency, for both letters and words, is sensitive to the number of items in the preceding list and also to the serial location of the probe item in the list. (Author)

Purpose of this study was to test the adequacy of the serial habituation hypothesis as an account of the infant's perceptual commerce with visual stimuli. (Author)

Results are consistent with the hypothesis that sequential memory is dependent upon the availability of a verbal memory code. (Authors)

Study investigated whether visual serial search time for letters differed significantly from visual serial search time for numbers. (Author/MB)

A primary purpose of the present study was the evaluation of possible differences in process between the recall and anticipation methods of serial learning. (Author)

This paper uses household survey data to rank LAC countries' performance in two areas: (i) getting children into school on time and keeping them there, and (ii) turning their contact with the educational system into years of schooling. It presents multiple rankings because most countries' performance is not uniform across these dimensions. For…
