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)

The purpose of this paper is to distinguish several different ways in which phonemic information might be employed in spelling, to examine some empirical data on the consequences of using these different information sources, to formulate hypotheses about the underlying processes involved, and to suggest possible implications for the learning and…

Results of these experiments are evaluated in conjunction with the hypothesis that frequency information is a dominant attribute in recognition decisions. (Author/MB)

Investigated were the relationships among confidence judgments, latencies, and memory-trace strength." (Authors/MB)

The usual finding of superior recognition memory for rare items was observed. (Authors)

Author outlines several ways in which language and sports share a commonality. (CB)

This research has demonstrated that first, short term memory (Jensen's Level I) has only a moderate index of heritability; second, that the general intellective factor g' (Jensen's Level II) has somewhat high heritability; and third, that no evidence of hereditary variation appeared in the Figural and Verbal Divergent Thinking measures.…
