The present study is an extension of Conrad's work on short-term memory with the emphasis on the kinds of confusions the deaf make in recalling visually presented letters and how they differ from those made by hearing Ss. (Author/RK)

Article gives the results of a multiple-probe recognition memory investigation examining the importance of relationships between items in a memorized series (positive set). (Editor)

The present article reports experiments that generalize the observed dependence between retrieval operations. (Author)

These data have important implications for both theories of memory in general and for theories of retardate memory in particular. (Author)

Study examined the effects of an integrative or central information processing variable on visual-motor task performance of normal and mentally retarded Ss. (Authors)

Results are consistent with the hypothesis that sequential memory is dependent upon the availability of a verbal memory code. (Authors)

The possible interaction between age-relevant facilitative instructions and the occurrence of phonetic and semantic generalization was investigated. (Author)

Two general topics are discussed: (1) The sequence of events that transpire in one second of reading, to suggest the nature of the processes that link them; and (2) the relation of this description to the acquisition of reading. Contains a list of 71 references. (RB)

Both acquisition and retention were better when the hierarchy was learned graphically rather than as a list of associations, although the effect was greater on acquisition than on retention. (Authors)

It was observed that whereas in the average IQ level, the high-SES sample did better than the low-SES sample in short-term memory, this was reversed in the low IQ level. (Authors)
