Distinctiveness and Serial Position in Short term Memory for Lifted Weights
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Detterman, Douglas K. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The experiments presented in this study tried to validate and clarify the notion of distinctiveness and the assumptions on which it is based, particularly as it relates to prediction of the serial-position effect. (Author/RK)

Total Time Hypothesis in Low Meaningful Serial Learning: Task, Age, and Verbalization Instructions
Koffman, Elaine Cooper; Weinstock, Roy B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present experiment tested whether the Total Time Hypothesis would remain valid when either response availability or S interest was low. (Author/RK)
Descriptors: Experimental Psychology, Memory, Psychological Studies, Serial Learning
Position Effects in Free Recall
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hasher, Lynn – American Journal of Psychology, 1973
Position effects in multiple-trial free recall were examined for subjects who learned three successive lists under one of two instructional conditions. (Editor)
Descriptors: Methods, Psychological Studies, Recall (Psychology), Serial Learning
Item Effects as Indicators of Subjective Organization in Serial Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lippman, Louis G. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
Whereas Martin (1973) examined item effects for individual subjects as indicators of their idiosyncratic organization of the middle of a lengthy, constant sequence of unrelated nouns, the present study examined the constancy of item effects across groups of subjects learning a short list of moderately difficult CVCs.

Learning and Retention of Verbal Lists: Serial Anticipation and Serial Discrimination
Wade, Edward A.; Blier, Michael J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Serial anticipation and serial discrimination learning were compared. Trials, errors, total learning times, serial position errors, and retention were examined. (Editor/RK)
Descriptors: Experimental Psychology, Psychological Studies, Research Methodology, Retention Studies
Test of the Ordinal Position Hypothesis Using Serial Anticipation and Serial Recall Procedures
Maisto, Albert A.; Ward, L. Charles – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
The purpose of the present study was to provide further evidence with respect to the effects of presentation method in serial learning. (Author)
Descriptors: College Students, Learning Processes, Psychological Studies, Recall (Psychology)
Contextual Associations and Memory for Serial Position
Block, R. A.; Summers, J. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Purpose of experiment was to provide evidence for the role of contextual associations in memory for serial position because position judgments are affected by factors other than those correlated by time. (DS)
Descriptors: Associative Learning, Memory, Psychological Studies, Recall (Psychology)
Positional Mediation of Intraserial Associations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Johnson, G. J. – American Journal of Psychology, 1975
The present study was designed to investigate the manner in and the extent to which a subject's experience with the position of items influences the strength of interitem associations as they are measured by intralist intrusions, by the association method, and by transfer effects on paired-associate performance. (Author/RK)
Descriptors: Association (Psychology), Flow Charts, Paired Associate Learning, Psychological Studies
A Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Effects of Presentation Mode and Meaningfulness on Short-Term Recall
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Turnage, Thomas W.; McGinnies, Elliott – American Journal of Psychology, 1973
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)
Descriptors: Chinese, Cross Cultural Studies, Cultural Differences, English
Higher Order Organization in Serial Recall of Digits
Jones, Mari R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Two experiments compared Ss' serial recall of 16 hierarchically formed patterns of ordered digits. (Author)
Descriptors: Association (Psychology), Memorization, Memory, Prediction
Depth of Processing in Recall and Recognition Memory: Differential Effects of Stimulus Meaningfulness and Serial Position
Seamon, John G.; Murray, Pauline – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Structural and semantic levels of processing were distinguished in two experiments that varied stimulus meaningfulness in an incidental learning paradigm. (Editor)
Descriptors: Charts, Experimental Psychology, Experiments, Memory
Residual Effects in Recall After a Stimulus Suffix
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Salter, David; Osler, Jim – British Journal of Psychology, 1978
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)

Children's Perceptual Organization of Seriated Displays: Evidence Against a Memory Reorganization Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cromer, Richard F. – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
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)

Serial Learning Process: Test of Chaining, Position, and Dual-Process Hypotheses
Giurintano, S. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
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)
Descriptors: Associative Learning, Educational Psychology, Learning Processes, Learning Theories
Short-term Serial Recall as a Function of Similarity, Serial Position, and Trials
McHugh, A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Research based on author's master thesis and supported by funds from the National Science Foundation. (DS)
Descriptors: Learning Processes, Memory, Paired Associate Learning, Psychological Studies
