The experiment reported here evaluated the effectiveness of a mnemonic procedure, the keyword method, for learning a foreign language vocabulary. (Editor)

A probe-recognition short-term memory paradigm was used to inquire into the precise effects of sleep deprivation on human memory. (Editor)

Two experiments were carried out investigating the extent to which recognition responses to pictures are based on specific detail vs. general information. (Editor)

The present study suggested that simple nameable pictures and individual words both involve the use of verbal processes in retention, and to about the same extent. (Author/RK)

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)

The present experiments were designed to explore the immediate effects of input order on the free recall of lists of numbers. (Author)

To show how a subject's memory of previous responses and their outcomes affects responding, as in Buchwald's cognitive model, the subject in the present study had to recall his previous response and its outcome before choosing the correct response. (Editor/RK)

The general purpose of this experiment was to determine whether differences in stimulus discrimination, as determined by the MIR (missing-item recognition) test, are correlated with interference in recall, as demanded by the discriminative coding hypothesis. (Author/RK)

Two experiments tracked the acquisition of skilled reading as college students read as many as 160 pages of geometrically inverted text and assessed the consequence for memory of skill at reading. Results were interpreted in terms that emphasized an operational basis to memory--pattern-analyzing procedures rather than conscious contents.…

The results of this experiment suggest that requiring subjects to simultaneously suppress subvocalization and remember syllables depresses performance slightly, but encoding of speech sounds in short-term memory occurs independently of subvocal activity during the memory task. (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. (Author/RK)

The three experiments reported in this article were concerned with the question of how response factors influence the process of stimulus encoding. (Author)

This research has three purposes: 1) to determine whether subjects instructed to study silently in a free-recall experiment engage in associative encoding, 2) to test the validity of associative ability as an individual difference variable, 3) to test for an interaction between presentation rate and associative reaction time. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments were performed using a recognition probe procedure to test the subject's recognition of the order of two items from a dichotically presented list. (Editor)

Individual items were tested for old-new and right-wrong identifications following one, two, or four study trials on a multiple-item recognition learning task. The pattern found for functional identifications suggests that frequency cues may be supplemented by other kinds of cues that enhance identifications of items in terms of their prior study…
