In these data and on the kinds of analogies produced by a group of highly original men and women, the simple image/direct analogy stands out as the significant thinking operation used to make the familiar strange. These subjects apparently have not found the need to use personal, symbolic, or fantasy analogy. (Author)

It is concluded that stimulus grouping can aid short-term memory span only when the method of stimulus grouping is compatible with the method of response grouping. (Author/CB)

Study considered whether distinctive orthography would lead to differential recognition performance when high- and low-distinctiveness words served as both study and distracter items. (Author)

This experiment was an attempt to extend recent findings by examining how contextual changes might produce variations in the correct recognition of verbal units' previously presented in a compound display. (Authors/CB)

This study is consistent with a model of semantic memory that assumes that the memory store is organized primarily into noun categories, and that the process of retrieving information from this store consists of entering the appropriate category as a first step. (Authors)
