An experiment examined the possibilities that: (1) repeated deviations in a routine event become fused into the general event representation (GER) for that event; and (2) when deviations go unreported, it is because they have been forgotten. Preschool children were interviewed to get their script reports before and after repeated deviations in the…

A minimal heuristic model of human memory storage and retrievel is outlined in which there is no self-organizing ability, and in which retrieval processes are undirected in that they do not vary with the nature of information sought. The model is applied to a variety of phenomena in human learning, forgetting and retrieval. (RC)

The ability of multilinguals to remember the language of linguistically mixed material was studied in two experiments. (Editor)

These experiments demonstrated that it is possible to produce induced amnesia using a loud sound as the critical item when all other items are presented at normal conversational levels. (Author/RK)

Two experiments were conducted which investigated the developmental patterns of children's rehearsal and organization of material to be memorized. (JMB)

Two experiments are presented which investigated the effect of retention interval and information load on short-term recognition memory in retarded subjects. (Author/SET)

Authors attempted to measure the effect of phonetic similarity on the ease and speed with which pairs of words are found in memory. (Author/RK)

Preference for detailed notes was significantly positively correlated with recall in a study of college students randomly assigned to four treatment groups using different combinations of note taking and review. (Author/KM)

Reports two experiments conducted in an attempt to extend findings by Ellis which suggest a rehearsal deficit in mentally retarded adults. (Author/SDH)

The present paper asked whether certain sources of short-term forgetting, proactive interference and interpolated task difficulty, exerted their influences in STS, LTS, or both. (Author/RK)

Two experiments are reported to distinguish between the representation of sentences in immediate versus longer-term memory. It is indicated that the immediate representation is a verbatim image of the sentence but at delays there are both verbatim images and propositional representations. (Author/RM)

Article addressed itself to generality and examined the claim that Tulving and his associates have in fact demonstrated recognition failure of recallable words. (Author/RK)

Both recognition and recall of pictures improve as picture presentation time increases and as time between picture increases. This experiment was compared with an earlier one by Shaffer and Shiffrin (1972). (Editor/RK)

Textual meaning is not autonomous--not only do the meanings of texts change as contexts change but also the textual or sentence meanings change as cultural conventions change. A series of preliminary studies have established that children into the early school years believe that the speaker's intentions, especially when the speaker's belief is…
