Differences in the delayed recall performance of auditory stimuli that were linguistic-meaningful (words), linguistic-nonmeaningful (nonsense syllables), nonlinguistic-meaningful (environmental sounds), and nonlinguistic-nonmeaningful (pure tones) were evaluated with 20 normal and 20 learning disabled children 5 to 9 years of age.

An attempt was made to attenuate the severe anterograde amnesia of a patient with Korsakoff's Psychosis through the imposition of cues to assist memory. (Editor)

In a free recall experiment, divers learn lists of words in two natural environments: on dry land and underwater, and recalled the words in either the environment of original learning, or in the alternative environment. A subsequent experiment related these actions to context-dependent memory. (Editor/RK)

Visual memory in monkeys was examined under four different conditions, each with a separate group. (Editor)

The present experiments were designed to assess the hypothesis that arousal (indexed by measures of extraversion and neuroticism) focuses memory on physical cues while adversely affecting memory for semantic cues. (Author)

Tested kindergarten, first-, second-, and third-grade children to determine if other developmental changes in drawings might have obscured an underlying change in the tendency to seriate. (Author/SDH)

Investigates the relationship between age and the use of chunking as an effective coding strategy for short-term memory storage with young, middle-aged and old females. (ED)

The present experiments explored ways in which information encoded along different dimensions might be co-ordinated to determine memory performance. (Editor)

This study was based on that of Jorgensen and Kintsch (1973) regarding verification time and ease of imagery of sentences. The present study concluded that the results of Jorgensen and Kintsch do not distinguish the effects of rated imagery on reaction time from the effects of semantic relatedness and semantic complexity.

This article reviews evidence of context effects in recognition, and of failure to recognize recallable words. (Editor)

Subjects low or high in activation, as measured by Thayer's Activation-Deactiviation Adjective Check List, participated in two semantic memory tasks, one involving speed of recall and the other speed of recognition. (Editor)

This paper defines a schema as a memory structure representing a general concept and its framework of associated concepts, and identifies the three processes by which learning can occur in individuals whose memories are schema-based, i.e., accretion, tuning, and restructuring. Ways in which schema might influence instructional design are then…

State-dependent retention (SDR) refers to the tendency to recall something more easily when in the same state as when one first learned it. The most directly relevant evidence in favor of mood SDR has confounded matching of mood at learning and recall with matching of mood induction procedure. A study was conducted to test directly whether the use…

Although the accuracy of the diagnosis of cognitive impairment in the elderly depends on the appropriateness of the norms for the neuropsychological tests used, the importance of examining health status, native intelligence, and gender when attempting to describe cognitive changes of aging has received little attention. The Rey Auditory Verbal…
