This doctoral research seeks to demonstrate the clinical utility of early memories by reviewing the current literature and providing a rationale for extending this research into the spiritual arena by highlighting the lack of available projective spiritual measures. Specific areas covered include an overview of early memory theory, technique and…

The list-scanning experiments first described and studied by Sternberg have raised some important and interesting questions about memory function and the close and subtle relationship between memory and attention. This paper presents an attempt to explain these findings. (Author/RK)

A probe-type serial memory task was used to determine whether 3-dimensional objects would produce better recall than colored pictures of the same objects in elementary school students with low IQ's. (ST)

The present study was designed to test the effect of instructions to forget prior motor learning and the results were relevant to the understanding of short-term motor memory (STMM) proactive interference (PI). (Author/RK)

Tests designed to measure conservation, visual memory, and static and anticipatory imagery were administered to 1st and 2nd grade children. Conservation and memory correlated significantly with IQ. The different mental processes may be involved in the development of anticipatory imagery and conservation. (CS)

The major finding of this study is that there is a larger socioeconomic status or Negro-White difference on intelligence measures than on measures of rote learning and memory. The difference in the performance of Negro and White children increases with age. (EH)

Short-term memory in 7- and 11-year-old children was studied under two conditions: study period and distraction. Older children did better than younger children on study conditions and about the same on distraction condition. (ST)

This study presents a systematic investigation of three factors which seem necessary to initial success in obtaining recall facilitation when list member cues are presented during free recall. (Author/KM)

The effect of phonetic similarity was reported in a study of sound imitation and recall in 14 first or second grade children. (Author/DB)

A set of artifical reminders'' are developed to compensate for a profound memory deficit in a young brain damaged male. The prosthetic memory techniques are described, and his increase in functional level is documented. A report of a 15-month follow-up is included. (Author)

Investigation is concerned with the nature of the memory representation that serves as a basis for frequency judgments. (Author)

The importance of teaching documentation methodology as a regular part of the educational process is stressed. (MF)
