The unit-sequence interference hypothesis predicts that sequences of high-frequency words should be forgotten faster than equivalent sequences of low-frequency words, because of opportunities for response competition that increase with word frequency. (Authors)

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)

Purpose of these four experiments was to elucidate the role of grouping in remembering words by using single-trial free recall. (Author/CB)

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)
