Download full textMcIntyre, Thomas C. – 1982
Research on the role of visual memory and serial recall in dyslexia is reviewed. Findings touch on feature theory, which proposes that information is held in the form of "features," and that students for example learn to discriminate letters by marking certain identifiable aspects. Other studies are described which focus on speed of processing…

Peer reviewedSmith, Anderson D. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
The results of this study indicate that age differences in the recall of high frequency word lists are not related to the total presentation time of the lists but appear to be affected by differences in retrieval processes as a function of age. (JMB)

Underwood, Benton J.; Malmi, Robert A. – 1977
This study investigated verbal learning when separate tasks were presented simultaneously, with variations in the number of tasks specified to be learned and in the number of tasks presented. Results indicated that the effect of certain independent variables was similar to the effect found when tasks were learned singly. The spacing effect, for…

Del Castillo, David M.; Gumenik, William E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results are consistent with the hypothesis that sequential memory is dependent upon the availability of a verbal memory code. (Authors)

Mosberg, Ludwig; Shima, Fred – 1969
A rationale was developed for researching reading comprehension based on information gain. Previous definitions of comprehension which were reviewed included operational vs. nonoperational and skills vs. processes. Comprehension was viewed as an informational processing event which includes a constellation of cognitive and learning processes. Two…

Underwood, Benton J.; Lund, Arnold M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979
Subjects learned one, two, or three verbal lists simultaneously. Recall of the common list after 24 hours increased directly as the number of lists learned simultaneously increased. Assuming that simultaneous learning reduced interference, the interference was from extraexperimental sources of a proactive nature. (Author/CP)

Underwood, Benton J.; Malmi, Robert A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Three response measures that have been used in the study of temporal codes for memories were evaluated. Subjects were shown a list of words singly for study, and recency, position, and language judgements were obtained. (SW)

Shiffrin, Richard M.; Cook, James R. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
The purpose of this article is to examine the capacity limitations of the active memory system as seen in the nature of the forgetting mechanisms. (Author/NCR)

Maki, Ruth H.; Schuler, Jennie – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments demonstrating that recall for words increases with deeper levels of processing and with longer rehearsal intervals. Asserts that there is no interaction between those strategies. (PMJ)

Fisher, Dennis F. – 1969
A compilation of 165 references dealing with short term memory, this bibliography supplements "Short-Term Memory: An Annotated Bibliography" (August 1968). The time period covered is predominantly June 1968 to June 1969. Such aspects and topics as psychometrics, motivation, human engineering, vision, auditory perception, verbal and nonverbal…

Underwood, Benton J. – 1969
This research on factors influencing verbal learning and retention has used new techniques, attacked new problems, and tested new theories while trying to keep the experiments systematic. Studies conducted involved (1) the effect of varying the length of the intertrial interval on the learning and retention of different types of learning tasks;…
