Schendel, Joel D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
The major concern of the present experiment was to determine whether increased covert rehearsal is the sole cause of the release from proactive interference in short-term memory. (Editor)

Proctor, Robert W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
In two experiments, recognition accuracy was compared between subjects who made frequency judgments and subjects who made recognition judgments. Results indicate that at least partially different information in memory is evaluated when judging frequency than when making recognition judgments and that this information facilitates recognition…

Koppell, Steven – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Response latency (RL), accuracy, and confidence data were obtained from six subjects, each tested for 20 experimental sessions in a long-term recognition memory paradigm. Based on signal detection theory assumptions, functions were derived that described the relationship between RL and the separation of test item and criterion along a theoretical…

Herrmann, Douglas J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
The latency to classify a test item as not being from a memorized list of category words is usually slower when the test items are categorically related to memorized words than when they are unrelated. This observation has been explained by four models of recognition, which are evaluated here. (Editor/RK)

Anderson, Norman H.; Clavadetscher, John – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Four experiments gave direct tests of a popular hypothesis about the role of classical conditioning in person perception and social judgment. (Editor)

Wicker, Frank W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Attempts to help specify the boundary conditions for use of the recognition-recall method, i.e., recall made conditional upon recognition, and to use this method to evaluate a hypothesis about stimulus-concreteness effects with low-meaningful responses. (Author/RK)

Cermak, Laird S.; Reale, Lynn – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
The relationship between the depth to which a word is initially processed and its eventual probability of being recognized was investigated with amnesiac (alcoholic Korsakoff) patients. (Editor)

Roy, Eric A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Describes three experiments which investigated the mechanism underlying memory for movement-extent cues in preselection. Experiment 1 showed that memory for movement extent was better for subjects who were allowed to preselect their own standard. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the role of active movement in preselected and nonpreselected movements.…

Imhoff, David L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Two free-recall experiments were performed in which the subjects were required to rehearse items an equal number of times, but the number of items presented at a given time was varied. The main hypothesis was that increasing the number of items presented at once would increase processing demands and decrease performance. (Editor)
