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)

This study highlights some theoretical ideas which should be considered in attempting to assess the degree of abstraction underlying conceptual learning. (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)

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…

Assesses the influence of rehearsal on recognition reaction times for items from target lists of a length exceeding the span of immediate memory. Also determines what effect, if any, the length of the target list has on recognition latencies that involve only retrieval from inactive memory. (Author/RK)

It has been demonstrated that instructions to learn have no effect on immediate recall in the incidental learning paradigm used by Jenkins (1974). This research further investigated this finding by factorially manipulating recall instructions (incidental vs. intentional learning), presentation rate of materials, retention interval, and type of…
