Control of the mechanisms of memory may eventually come to pass, thanks to ingenious new research with goldfish and rats. (Editor)

Concludes that although the amount of repetition is of some importance, the nature of the repeated content is of greater importance for the listeners' capacity to recall a message. (RB)

Monitored the processing activity in the storage and retrieval stages of the information processing sequence. Storage was evaluated by analyses of overt rehearsal; correct responding and order of recall provided data relevant to the retrieval phase. Subjects were third, fifth and seventh graders. (SDH)

The present study investigated further the effects of semantic category on speed of matching a target word to words in a memory set. (Author)

The purpose of the present experiment was to clarify the nature of retrieving information from Long Term Storage by using forced recall as well as free recall to determine whether further search may lead to retrieval of additional repeated items. (Author/RK)

Examines the effects of adult age on response interference with organized recall with adults 20-80 years old. Results are discussed in terms of several explanations of response interference both with discrete recall of single items and with organized recall. (Author/ED)

This study examines the effect of instruction to generate memorable as opposed to grammatical sentences from letter strings of varying lengths. (Editor)

Subjects performed two tasks of logical reasoning at each of six different times of day. In terms of speed, performance on both tests was found to improve markedly from 08.00 to 14.00 and then to fall off fairly rapidly. (Editor)

Reference is made to a 1973 article of Singer and Rosenberg regarding linguistic integration. Some of their arguments are supported, and certain claims about integration clarified. (RM)

The structural features extracted for the schizophrenics, nonschizophrenic psychiatric patients, and normals were very similar to each other. A group difference was found in the subject's sorting strategy, but its effect on the main findings was judged to be minimal. (Author)

Research is reported investigating the processes involved in rejecting certain false categorical statements. (RM)

Three hundred and ninety-two high school graduates were tested for memory of names and portraits of classmates selected from yearbooks. (Editor)

The aim of the present study was partly to see whether the trade-off between item and attribute memory was a reliable phenomenon and partly to examine the strategies used by subjects in this task. (Author/RK)

A major error in cognitive science has been to suppose that the meaning of a representation in the mind is known prior to its production. Representations are inherently perceptual--constructed by a perceptual process and given meaning by subsequent perception of them. The person perceiving the representation determines what it means. This premise…
