If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

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.…

Tulving and others (Tulving, 1974; Tulving & Madigan, 1970) have distinguished two kinds of forgetting of verbal information: trace-dependent forgetting and cue-dependent forgetting. Attempts to determine which type occurs in retroactive inhibition of free-recall learning. (Author/RK)

Attempts to define the relationships between four measures of recall in a two-recall task, namely (a) initial short-term recall (STR), (b) unconditional final free recall (FFR), (c) final free recall conditionalized on an initial successful recall (FFR/STR), and (d) final free recall conditionalized on an unsuccessful recall (FFR/STR).

A general decision-theory analysis of the word-frequency effect in recognition memory is carried out. On the basis of the analysis and data from a forced-choice experiment two distinct causes of the frequency effect are defined. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to gather normative data bearing on the hierarchical organization of semantic memory. (Author)

Subjects received recognition, meaning, or truth-value instructions in a Bransford and Franks paradigm. The results of two trials indicated that subjects understood and performed very well under recognition and truth-value instructions when constraints on memory were removed. (Editor/RK)

The purposes of the present experiments were to attempt to reproduce the Estes and Taylor (1964) results (the number of items identified from a many-item array was as much as twice the full-report span of four or five items) and to compare them with the number of items reported in the full-report procedure.

The ability of multilinguals to remember the language of linguistically mixed material was studied in two experiments. (Editor)

An important issue in encoding theories of memory is the stability of encodings from one stimulus presentation to the next. Article investigate the use of homonyms as an approach to observing the changes in word associations. (Author/RK)

The principal aim of this research was to test the levels of processing approach to memory by directly varying the depth to which the input could be processed, as opposed to the earlier incidental learning tests of levels of processing, where the input was held constant across processing conditions. (Author)

The primary purpose of this research was to determine how imaginal and verbal encoding strategies interact with various stimulus characteristics to either enhance or retard recognition; the secondary purpose of these studies was to test the conceptual coding hypothesis of Ellis, 1972. (Editor)

The relation between orientation task and resultant structure of the memory trace was studied using an incidental learning paradigm. Twenty subjects examined 50 pairs for meaningful associations (semantic task), and 20 for rhymes (nonsemantic task). (Editor)

Verbal memory was investigated using two miniature artificial languages that were identical except for the design of their reference system. One reference field was illustrated as a set of continuous elements, the other as a holistic unit. (Editor)

Two sets of measurements evaluated performance on typographically inverted text that students had learned to read 13 to 15 months earlier. (Editor)
