Attempts to help specify the boundary conditions for use of the recognition-recall method, i.e., recall made conditional upon recognition, and to use this method to evaluate a hypothesis about stimulus-concreteness effects with low-meaningful responses. (Author/RK)

This experiment examined the learning of affective and neutral words in a paired-associate list for chronic schizophrenics and normals. It was predicted that, relative to normals, the chronic schizophrenics would learn much fewer affective words than neutral words. (Author)

Two experiments examined the role of meaningfulness (m), perceptual grouping, and organizational factors in recognition memory of consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) trigram stimuli. (Editor)

Two experiments were conducted and the results of both experiments were viewed as consistent with the hypothesis that episodic information (e.g., word pairs, word grouping) is stored separately from semantic information (categories) in long-term memory. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the nature of the processing of material for recall and recognition as a function of Ss' knowledge of mode of test in order to provide an interpretation of earlier studies. (Author/RK)

Conjunctive (CJ), inclusive disjunctive (ID), and conditional (CD) concept conditions were compared with a paired-associate learning (PAL) condition using equivalent information tasks. (Author)

Attempts a more direct, functional analysis of associative processing than is possible within the traditional two-stage transfer paradigm. (Author/RK)

Three experiments are reported, all directed to the question of whether vicalization at presentation affects primary memory (PM) rather than secondary memory (SM). (Editor)

The differential effects of studying for recall and recognition tests were studied by means of a transfer experiment. The 48 subjects learned three lists of paired associates with either all recall tests or all recognition tests and then were transferred to a fourth list with either the same test or the other test. (Editor)

The evidence from studies of component selection in paired-associate learning is reviewed and then considered in relation to Martin's (1968) hypothesis of encoding variability and Rudy's (1974) model of variations in the associative process. Component-selection tasks are also compared to verbal concept-formation tasks. (Editor)

Ninety six second graders each had three study/test trials with picture/picture or picture/word associates. Article investigated their responses. (Author/RK)

The logical extension of results may be valuable in adding to our understanding of the variety of phenomena involving mediational processes, such as transposition, reversal and nonreversal shifts, imagery, concept formation, word meaning, and the effectiveness of verbal stimuli in discrimination and generalization.

Words and other verbal stimuli are processed as phonological sequences having a characteristic beginning-end-middle structure. They are not processed as invariant units, but are coded as sets of distinctive features, the coding being controlled, at least partly, by the context in which it takes place. (AN)

Nelson, Brooks, and Wheeler (1975) found that interference effects produced by physical similarity among word stimuli in paired associates result from the disruption of contact with the functional stimulus and that interference with associative retrieval is minimal. Data in this research challenge their conclusion on several grounds. (Author/RK)
