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)

Article expressed the view that the buildup and release from proactive inhibition effects in the Brown-Peterson paradigm could be interpreted in terms of the cue-overload principle. (Author/RK)

Unidirectional associates were used in a test of the encoding specificity principle with single items. Strong preexperimental associates were effective retrieval cues even when encoding conditions were not conducive to the establishment of a target-cue association. Results suggested that the presence of weak cues on the test reduced the…

In each of three experiments, both cue validities and task predictability were held constant while the sign of the cue validities and cue intercorrelation were varied. (Editor)

Two experiments explored the effects of three processing tasks on cued recall of related and unrelated word pairs. (Editor)

In two experiments adult subjects were given a redundant relevant cues concept identification problem. (Editor)

The present investigation examines interactions among components of coherent pictorial stimuli. One purpose of the investigation was to establish whether components contribute independently and additively to the effectiveness of the compound stimulus, or whether the effectiveness of components is interdependent, that is, positively or negatively…

Determination of the role of input cues in free recall and clarification of the reduction effect of cued input on free-recall performance are of importance for any theory dealing with encoding and retrieval. It is these two issues which are the primary focus of the present experiment. (Author)

The paradigm producing recognition failure of recallable words was investigated in a series of three experiments. Results indicate that retrieval asymmetry: (a) exists in the recognition failure paradigm directly following list study, (b) increases significantly following a free-association task aimed at generation of the target words from the…

In the first of two experiments investigating the inhibitory effect of cuing, the taxonomic frequencies of cue words and critical words were manipulated orthogonally. (Editor)

Investigates the effectiveness of cues and the differences between cued-recall and free association tasks. (Author/RK)

Tulving and Thomson's encoding specificity effect was examined as a function of grammatical class and concreteness of the cues. (Editor)

This research was designed to investigate sentence comprehension and recall through an examination of cue effectiveness. It was expected that a cue which contained information about an object that was a probable inference from the sentence would be an effective recall cue. (Author/RK)

This research investigates why it is that the more concrete the subject noun phrase of a sentence, the more likely the predicate is to be recalled when the subject noun phrase is the cue. (Editor/RK)

The question under investigation in the present paper is whether subjects can effectively use retention interval information under demanding acquisition and retention conditions, specifically, to evaluate the contribution of retention interval information to memory performance when temporal information is made explicitly available.
