Testing the hypotheses that reflective timed-essay prompts should elicit memories of meaningful experiences in students' undergraduate education, and that computer-mediated classroom experiences should be salient among those memories, a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods paints a richer, more complex picture than either…

In the first of two experiments investigating the inhibitory effect of cuing, the taxonomic frequencies of cue words and critical words were manipulated orthogonally. (Editor)

Tulving and Thomson's encoding specificity effect was examined as a function of grammatical class and concreteness of the cues. (Editor)

This research investigates why it is that the more concrete the subject noun phrase of a sentence, the more likely the predicate is to be recalled when the subject noun phrase is the cue. (Editor/RK)

Findings obtained by providing rats with a single fixed series of events, A-B-C-..., often are equally compatible with three alternative serial learning interpretations: that the signal for items is (A) their position in the series (position view), (B) the prior item of the series (chaining view), and (C) one, two, or more prior items of the…

The Subject-Verb-Object (S-V-O) approach to social cognition was used to study some traditional balance theory problems and several additional problems as well. (Editor)

If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

It is a common assumption that memories consist of sets of interrelated features of attributes. Rigorous and direct investigation of the functional properties of these sets has been relatively neglected. Questions whether the interrelationships of different components are reflexive or asymmetric and how components interact when more than one is…

Jones (1976) has shown that the memory trace resulting from the viewing of a picture corresponds to a "fragment" of that picture. This research shows that the fragmentation hypothesis also correctly represents the recall of memories derived from sentences, i.e., the functional unit of memory, the mnemonic trace, is a fragment of the original item.…

Provides evidence that subjects who have experienced deception in experiments exhibit altered behavior and/or attitudes in subsequent experiments. Bibliography, tables, and graph. (RW)

This study compared the instructional effectiveness of both cued and noncued pictures and cued and noncued text; investigated whether a combination of pictorial and textual cues is the most effective strategy for low and average reading ability students; and compared average and low reading subjects using noncueing and cueing methods.
