Objective of this study was to determine subjects' reliability in rating randomly played ascending and descending melodic intervals within the octave on the basis of their familiarity with each type of interval and the frequency of their having experienced each type of interval in music.

Paper sets out an attempt to use the changes in implicit associative responses resulting from semantic constraints to examine some features of the associative network aroused by the perception of a complete sentence. (Author)

Results of three experiments affirm prior research concerned with the distinction between associative and encoding factors in free recall. (Author/MB)

Two experiments conducted to examine the methods that have been hypothesized to characterize the learning of paired associates. (Author/MM)

The keyword method of vocabulary learning was compared with five methods designed to increase semantic processing of the definitions of vocabulary words. The method enhanced vocabulary/definition (associative) learning, but not definition (response) learning per se. In contrast, the semantic conditions tended to increase nonassociative learning of…
