The purpose of the present study was to investigate interference in pigeon short-term memory using an intertrial interference paradigm. (Author)

Research was conducted to clarify the previously reported recognition superiority of balanced over polarized homographs. (Editor)

The present study suggested that simple nameable pictures and individual words both involve the use of verbal processes in retention, and to about the same extent. (Author/RK)

A new theory for discrete motor learning was proposed that seemed capable of explaining a number of closed-loop postulations. (Editor/RK)

Reports results of an exploratory study in which a total of 80 children (in kindergarten, first, third and fifth grades) were interviewed in order to sample their knowledge of how certain classes of variables act and interact with one another to affect the quality of an individual's performance on a retrieval problem. (ED)

The major question of interest in the present investigation was whether or not a UCS is more effectively represented in STM when its occurrence is relatively surprising as opposed to expected. (Author)

Presents an investigation of the hypothesis that specific reading disability is attributable to inadequate visual memory. A total of 126 subjects, ages 7-14, who were asked to demonstrate retention of randomly arranged Hebrew letters on three separate occasions, provided no evidence that deficient visual memory is a likely source of reading…

A study of the effects of three types of conservation judgments (qualitative, quantitative, and equivalence) on both continuous and discontinuous substances in 24, 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds. Subjects were tested on conservation ability with and without verbal justification. Half of the subjects were provided a memory aid, the other half were not.…

A network model of logical and semantic structures from which speakers or writers generate linguistic messages at the discourse level is presented. (Author)

Ambiguous pictures that could be seen as faces or as meaningless patterns were the stimuli in two recognition-memory experiments. Recognition was far more accurate when the stimuli were seen as faces. (Editor)
