The present study examined the influence of memory codes varying in meaningfulness and retrievability and cumulative rehearsal on retention of observationally learned responses over increasing temporal intervals. (Editor)

There has been considerable debate in recent years about the status of "imagery" in problem solving. The present experiment attempts to show that while subjects may employ representational strategies when they first encounter a class of problems, they abandon such strategies as they gain experience with the problems.

The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that organization in rehearsal is a necessary condition for organization in recall; that is, if recall is organized, then rehearsal must have been organized. (Author)

Immediate memory spans for alphabetic items were studied in elementary school children and adults. Results indicated that immediate memory span increases with age and practice. (ST)

Describes an experiment which determined the amount of loss in French skills that students suffer during the summer vacation between grade 9 and grade 10; research supported by a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Education. (RL)

An expected interaction of feedback with retention interval was found only in the conditional probability intrusion and recognition data. This supported assumptions concerning the adequacy of the conditional probability measure as a relatively unbiased strength measure. (Editor)

This experiment failed to find any input-specific output-interference effects which were evidenced by earlier experiments dealing with the discrete recall of single items. (Author)

The purpose of the two experiments was to investigate the possibility that kinesthetic location information has retention characteristics that are different from those of kinesthetic distance information and also to evaluate certain assumptions of the assimulation theory of motor short term memory. (Author)

Results indicated that individual differences in learning ability cannot be accounted for in terms of individual differences in short-term memory. (Authors)

An experiment was conducted to investigate memory in a concept (CI) identification problem as a function of the number of trials. As the performance was significantly better, it was concluded that participants actively try to store and retain information during their search for a solution. (Author/KM)

In three experiments, a procedure was developed to examine the influence of the unattended line on memory for the words in attended lines in selective reading. (Author/KM)

Results of this experiment show a considerable release from proactive inhibition with a shift from words to pictures or pictures to words, thus adding one more change to the considerable number of category changes which produce the release phenomenon. (Author/CB)
