The research reported here was directed at evaluating whether or not the effectiveness of a Pavlovian unconditioned stimulus (US) in promoting associative learning is reduced if the US is shortly preceded by another occurrence of the same US. (Author)

Sought to elucidate the nature of odor memory by applying paradigms from verbal learning and semantic memory and to investigate two processes affecting paired-associate performance. (Author/RK)

Sequences of seven tones were presented, and recognition memory for individual tones of each sequence was tested under varying degrees of context. (Editor)

Investigates the effects of verbal labels on the short-term retention of a simple motor skill. (Author/RK)

A two-process theory of human information processing is proposed and applied to detection, search, and attention phenomena. (Editor)

The assumptions of Jensen's theory of Level 1 ability are examined in the light of recent research on memory. Experimental studies of organization in both serial and free recall, as well as factor analytic investigations of sequential memory indicate that the current theory requires revision in order to accommodate recent findings. (Editor)

This research looks at time of day effects in the immediate and delayed recall of realistic or meaningful material--a short story. Its design avoids confounding time of presentation with that of delayed recall and allows the comparison of delayed recall made at the same or different time of day to the presentation. (Author/RK)

Discusses two propositions about the preliminary stages of acoustic analysis and encoding in the absence of focal attention. (Editor/RK)

The recognition memory of eight-, ten-, and twelve-year-old children (n-108) was tested using an incidental learning technique. The children were required to categorize a set of word stimuli according to either a structural (presence or absence of the letter A in the word) or a semantic (identification of the word as the name of an animal or a…

Several experiments tested the occurrence of the "Kamin effect", i.e., the deficit in performance of an incompletely learned avoidance task, in terms of discrimination (choice) behavior by rats. (Editor/RK)

Repeated, isolated presentations of a stimulus typically reduce the subsequent ability of that cue to become an effective conditioned stimulus. This phenomenon is known as the latent inhibition effect. Four experiments investigate this effect. (Editor/RK)

Memory for serial position was examined in two experiments, while a third study investigated the extent to which such information could be put to use. (Editor)

Investigates simple line drawings as they are represented in memory, attempts to validate a particular methodology which provides evidence about such representations, and proposes a theoretical algorithm that mechanically segments and assigns a psychological representation to a set of simple (nonsense) line drawings. (Author/RK)

The extent to which individuals can recall feelings they experienced during a dyadic interaction, when shown a televised replay of that interaction, was investigated. Pairs of subjects (N=10) were trained rate their degree of comfort or discomfort during the actual ("live") interaction and, subsequently, as they watched a video-taped replay of…
