Santa, John L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Three experiments contrasted subjects' memory for verbal and figural displays. Data are discussed in terms of a multiple coding model, which is suggested as a more fruitful approach than single-code models such as those proposed by Pylyshyn or Anderson and Bower. (Editor/RK)

Loftus, Elizabeth F.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
1,242 subjects, in five experiments plus a pilot study, saw a series of slides depicting a single auto-pedestrian accident. These experiments investigate how information supplied after an event influences a witness's memory for that event. Results suggest that information supplied a witness after an event, whether inconsistent or misleading, is…

Nelson, Douglas L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
This series of experiments was designed to evaluate a model of picture and word encoding. The primary assumptions are that both sensory and semantic codes can be activated for both pictures and words but the relative order of access to phonemic information is different for the two types of representation.

Nelson, Douglas L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Pictures generally show superior recognition relative to their verbal labels. This experiment was designed to link this pictorial superiority effect to sensory or meaning codes associated with the two types of symbols. (Editor)

Guenther, R. Kim; Klatzky, Roberta L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
These experiments consider similarities and differences between classifications of pictorial and verbal stimuli in order to investigate whether the kinds of information used differ depending on the stimulus class. Three hypotheses regarding the information used in picture and word classification were evaluated. (Author/RK)

Pezdek, Kathy – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
This research attempts to determine whether integration of information occurs when the information is presented partly in the verbal modality and partly in the pictorial modality; in other words, does cross-modality integration occur? (Author/RK)

Pellegrino, James W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Comparisons between recall levels following simple acoustic or visual tasks and the simultaneous visual-plus-acoustic task are not based upon equivalent amounts of interference within each modality. This research attempts to test more precisely the relationship between visual and acoustic interference by using a sequential rather than a…

Sherman, Jay L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Research suggests that we process information by way of two distinct and functionally separate coding systems. Their location, somewhat dependent on cerebral laterality, varies in right- and left-handed persons. Tests this dual coding model. (Editor/RK)
