Article addressed itself to generality and examined the claim that Tulving and his associates have in fact demonstrated recognition failure of recallable words. (Author/RK)

This article reviews evidence of context effects in recognition, and of failure to recognize recallable words. (Editor)

Five experiments are reported concerning the effect on visual information processing of concurrently maintaining verbal information. The results suggest that the left cerebral hemisphere functions as a typical limited-capacity information processing system that can be influenced somewhat separately from the right hemisphere system.

The assumption that recall and recognition involve different processes has been attacked and defended in recent years on both theoretical and empirical grounds. This research extends the notion that retrieval processes are operative in recognition as well as in free recall of individual words. (Editor/RK)

Methods of successive relearning and of cross-sectional adjustment were investigated. With the first method, indefinite access to acquired information remained probable if retraining intervals did not exceed access intervals. The second method was used to investigate acquisition and maintenance of complex knowledge systems under ecologically…

Research on memory performance in children, the elderly, and individuals under stress is integrated with research on memory performance in college students. Assumptions include: (1) variation in attentional capacity within and between individuals, and (2) encoding operations vary in attentional requirements. Most of the data support the framework.…
