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…

Sets of pairs for a multiple-item recognition (verbal discrimination) learning task varied in their number of presentations during a single extended study trial. The test phase required old-new and right-wrong (functional) identifications of individual items. Results suggest that recognition of prior wrong items are mediated by frequency cues…

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)

Examines the familiar serial to derived paired-associates transfer task in the light of expectations about the amount of positive transfer it should produce. Suggests, contrary to long-standing assumptions, that this paradigm cannot be expected to yield more than relatively moderate degrees of transfer because the utilization of response-produced…

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)

An experiment examined the mnemonic effects of initial testing with semantic, orthographic, temporal, and recognition cues. Results were interpreted within a levels-of-processing framework in which the nature of the information used in retrieval, rather than the speed or difficulty of retrieval determines subsequent accessibility. (Editor/RK)

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)
