If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

Tulving and others (Tulving, 1974; Tulving & Madigan, 1970) have distinguished two kinds of forgetting of verbal information: trace-dependent forgetting and cue-dependent forgetting. Attempts to determine which type occurs in retroactive inhibition of free-recall learning. (Author/RK)

Attempts to define the relationships between four measures of recall in a two-recall task, namely (a) initial short-term recall (STR), (b) unconditional final free recall (FFR), (c) final free recall conditionalized on an initial successful recall (FFR/STR), and (d) final free recall conditionalized on an unsuccessful recall (FFR/STR).

A general decision-theory analysis of the word-frequency effect in recognition memory is carried out. On the basis of the analysis and data from a forced-choice experiment two distinct causes of the frequency effect are defined. (Editor)

The abstraction of prototypical information and the classification of new exemplars was investigated as a function of category size and the number of categories that had to be distinguished during learning. (Editor)

Two sets of measurements evaluated performance on typographically inverted text that students had learned to read 13 to 15 months earlier. (Editor)

This experiment was directed at clarifying the role of verbal associative responses in stimulus recognition. The effects of both distinctive and equivalent verbal labels were assessed. (Author/RK)

Two experiments were conducted in order to investigate the relationship between memory for individual sentences and memory for the holisitic ideas conveyed by those sentences. (Editor)

Three experiments evaluated the effect of poststimulus distractor characteristics in altering recognition of random shapes. (Editor)

Three experiments are reported investigating whether the decreasing recall over trials in the Brown-Peterson paradigm--proactive inhibition (PI)--derives from encoding or storage (availability) differences between items or from retrieval (accessibility) differences. (Editor)

Attempts to develop an index that will provide a broader data base from which to determine the relative strengths of list items in memory. (Author/RK)

Part of the unique status of picture recognition ability may lie in the procedure used to assess the ability and the great complexity of the stimulus itself. Pictures coupled with the recognition procedure may produce unexpected results, as this article attempted to demonstrate. (Author/RK)

Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

If half of the items in a list are repeated over a series of trials while the remainder of the items are new on each trial, recall of the repeated items is impaired. Two experiments examined the list context effect and a list differentiation interpretation was supported. (Editor/RK)

Three converging procedures were used to determine whether pictures presented in a rapid sequence at rates comparable to eye fixations are understood and then quickly forgotten. (Editor)
