The primary purpose of this study is to report the functional relation between recognition memory and degree of semantic contextual change and secondarily, to point out that the obtained relation can be described in terms of alternative theoretical approaches. (Author)

The present experiment explores the roles of probe-digit position and the confirmation of responses on the retrievability of individual items in Short Term Memory. (Editor/RK)

Recent work concerned with task performance under conditions of high arousal has emphasized the changes that appear to occur in the allocation of attention to different components of the task. (Editor)

This paper has been concerned with the recognition of items in relatively short memorized lists, investigated with RT methods. (Author)

Research is reported which was directed toward characterizing memory representations which underlie inference intrusions in recall. (Author/RM)

Two experiments are reported investigating the effects of immediate recall upon subsequent recall and recognition of list items and examining the relation between positive and negative recency effects. (Author/RM)

An experiment is described in which subjects read lists of phonologically similar words or lists of phonologically dissimilar words under instructions either for free or serial recall. Results of the experiment are discussed. (Author/RM)

Two experiments are reported in which subjects viewed films of automobile accidents and then answered questions about events occurring in the films. Wording of questions regarding speed influenced subjects' estimates of speed. (Author/RM)

A study is reported investigating the question whether inferences made from sentences occur immediately in comprehension or are in part a function of the way material from sentences is stored in memory. (Author/RM)

This paper evaluates associative theories of sentence memory, based on the model of J.R. Anderson and G.H. Bower. A model of Human Associative Memory (HAM) is generalized and defined, and alternative models incorporating configural information are presented. (CK)

Author deplored the lack of attention given to the development of memory skills, which are so important in a time art. (Editor/RK)

A probe-recognition short-term memory paradigm was used to inquire into the precise effects of sleep deprivation on human memory. (Editor)

The effects of attitudes on social memory have not been determined. Some studies have shown attitudes to serve as a heuristic for estimating an answer about past behavior. When an attitude heuristic is applied to recall of an event, "memory" will appear to be "superior," to the extent that the subject's inferences and constructions coincide with…

The research study investigated the memory and metamemory abilities of four severely to profoundly deaf students with bilateral sensory-neural loss, between the ages of 9 and 20 years. Metamemory was investigated with four modified subtests identified as "story list,""study plan,""retrieval event," and "opposites-arbitrary." Encoding was…
