The present study was undertaken to explore the influence of language (Chinese or English), meaningfulness, and mode of stimulus presentation on serial learning. (Author/RK)

Two experiments compared Ss' serial recall of 16 hierarchically formed patterns of ordered digits. (Author)

Structural and semantic levels of processing were distinguished in two experiments that varied stimulus meaningfulness in an incidental learning paradigm. (Editor)

With a serial-recall procedure the last few items are better recalled following auditory as opposed to visual presentation. The present study investigated the locus of this modality effect. (Editor)

Two experiments investigated serial recall with eight-word lists in which the frequency rating of the terminal word was manipulated. The effect on recall of two kinds of verbal "stimulus suffix" as well as a control noise suffix was also tested. Recall for the terminal items in the lists was analyzed. (Editor)

Results of this experiment provide support for the findings by Piaget & Inhelder (1973) that children's memory drawings of a seriated display improve over time as their cognitive abilities develop. (Author)

The chaining, position, and dual-process hypotheses of serial learning (SL) as well as serial recall, reordering, and relearning of paired-associate learning were examined to establish learning patterns. Results provide evidence for dual-process hypothesis. (DS)

The notion of strength is defined in several alternative ways for chains of associations connected in series and in parallel. Network strength theory is extended to handle retrieval dynamics for a network of associations, in a manner that permits various degrees of serial versus parallel manner that permits various degrees of serial versus…

A study was performed to investigate the storage and retrieval dynamics that occur during paired-associate acquisition by means of the storage-retrieval separation technique discussed recently by Chechile & Meyer (1976). Thirty subjects learned an 18-item paired-associate list to a criterion of three perfect trials. In the test phase of each…

Outlines relevance of learning style and strategy research to education for librarianship and reports on a study that assessed the learning styles of library and information science students through use of a questionnaire. The effectiveness of the questionnaire in assessing learning styles and implications for future research are discussed. (MBR)
