Familiarity-Based Responding in Item Recognition: Evidence for the Role of Spreading Activation.
Macht, Michael L.; O'Brien, Edward J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1980
Results of three experiments indicated that latency of correct recognition was sensitive to the influence of a priming treatment. The magnitude of the priming effect depended on both the taxonomic frequency of the probe items, and the length of the interval between the prime and the recognition test. (Author/RD)

Memory and Rule Structure in the Prediction of Serial Patterns
Jones, Mari Riess; Zamostny, Kathy Patz – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
Two experiments examined memory load, rule frequency, and rule arrangement in the prediction learning of serial digit patterns. (Editor)

Single Probes, Double Probes, and the Structure of Memory Traces.
Bruce, Darryl – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1980
Memory for names was queried by single probes consisting of conceptual information about the persons or by double probes combining two single cues. Results were viewed as consistent with Jones's fragmentation hypothesis and with the general class of associative theories of memory. (Author/RD)

Categorization and Familiarity in Recognition Involving a Well-Memorized List.
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)

Similarity as Distance: A Structural Principle for Semantic Memory
Hutchinson, J. Wesley; Lockhead, G. R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
A review of some recent experiments suggested that general similarity between words might successfully function as a structural principle for semantic memory. A spatial model based on that assumption is proposed. The relation of this model to network and set-theoretic models of semantic memory is discussed, as is the relation of this model for…

Person Memory: Some Tests of Associative Storage and Retrieval Models.
Srull, Thomas K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1981
This research had two complementary objectives, descriptive and theoretical. Experiments are described concerning a network model based on human associative memory theory. Subjects were given trait information about a target to create an initial expectancy, then exposed to behavioral information which was either congruent or incongruent with that…

A Functional Approach to Levels of Processing
Jacoby, Larry L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Argues for the importance of combining the concerns of the functionalist (Dewey, 1910) approach to memory with investigations of the effects of context and task demands. Two experiments are reported that demonstrate interactions between task demands and the more traditional functionalist variables. Particularly demonstrates that the effects of…
