Predicting the Frequency of Dream Recall
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cory, Thomas L.; And Others – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1975
This experiment tested the hypothesis that dream recallers would have better memory for visual stimuli than dream nonrecallers. (Editor)

Effects of Categorization and Imagery on Recognition and Recall by Process and Reactive Schizophrenics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Traupmann, Kenneth L. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1975
Imagery and categorization were orthogonally varied in an assessment of recognition and recall of process schizophrenics (process group), reactive schizophrenics (reactive group), and controls (student group). (Editor)

Recovery of Memory After Posthypnotic Amnesia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kihlstrom, John F.; Evans, Frederick J. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
This research uses a sample of 691 male and female college students and adopts an alternative method of evaluating reversibility, an important aspect of posthypnotic amnesia, to explore in greater detail the relations among hypnotic susceptibility, initial amnesia, and subsequent reversibility.

Recognition Memory in Elderly with Depression and Dementia: A Signal Detection Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Edgar; Lewis, Peter – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1977
Elderly depressives sometimes perform as badly as patients with dementia on tests of memory. It was hypothesized that this might be because depressives adopt a very conservative response strategy rather than because their memory is really impaired. (Editor)

Encoding of Taxonomic Word Categories by Schizophrenics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Short-Term Memory Scanning in Schizophrenic Young Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koh, Soon D.; And Others – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1977
The process of short-term memory scanning and recognition of common English words in 16 schizophrenics, 16 nonschizophrenic psychiatric patients, and 16 normals was investigated using the Sternberg item recognition procedure. This procedure has proved effective in isolating and clarifying the processes underlying mnemonic information processing.…

Interference Effects in Schizophrenic Short-Term Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bauman, Edward; Kolisnyk, Eugene – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
Assesses the effects of input and output interference on schizophrenic recall. Input interference is the interference resulting from the interpolation of items between presentation and recall of the probed item. Output interference is the interference resulting from the interpolation of responses between the presentation and recall of the probed…

Acute and Chronic Effects of Alcohol Use on Organizational Processes in Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rosen, Linda J.; Lee, Catherine L. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
Subjects selected on the basis of their drinking histories (alcoholics, heavy drinkers, and social drinkers, N=24) were tested on a series of tasks in order to assess organizational processes in memory. (Editor)

Organization in Memory: A Comparison of Psychotics and Normals
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Russell, Paul N.; Beekhuis, Margaret E. – Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1976
A total of 15 acute schizophrenics, 11 acute psychotic depressives, and 15 normal subjects completed a multitrial free-recall task. Results indicated that with lists of relatively high semantic content, the recall impairment displayed by schizophrenics and depressives stems mainly from an inability to completely use perceived structuring of the…
