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

Part of the unique status of picture recognition ability may lie in the procedure used to assess the ability and the great complexity of the stimulus itself. Pictures coupled with the recognition procedure may produce unexpected results, as this article attempted to demonstrate. (Author/RK)

Pictures of common objects apparently function as effective memory representations without evoking their corresponding name codes. The first three experiments of this report were designed to explore the limits of the independence of the naming process by varying relationships between the labels for the pictures and their responses.

The present investigation examines interactions among components of coherent pictorial stimuli. One purpose of the investigation was to establish whether components contribute independently and additively to the effectiveness of the compound stimulus, or whether the effectiveness of components is interdependent, that is, positively or negatively…

Three converging procedures were used to determine whether pictures presented in a rapid sequence at rates comparable to eye fixations are understood and then quickly forgotten. (Editor)

The recall of picture and word triads was examined in three experiments that manipulated the type of distraction in a Brown-Peterson short-term retention task. (Editor)

The purpose of the present experiment was to explore what it is that people remember about complex pictures. The experiment investigated several types of information which people might remember about two kinds of pictures, those which represent real-world scenes and those which represent collections of objects. (Author/RK)

In four experiments, immediate memory for sets of five sequentially presented pictorial stimuli was assessed by a two-alternative, forced-choice recognition probe. Suggests that immediate memory for pictures is determined by variables that increase or decrease processing demands, as is the case for verbal material. (Editor/RK)

Two studies investigated recognition of pictures of faces, focusing on the effects of changes in appearance of the face from presentation to test and type of processing or encoding. (Editor)

The effects of real-world schemata on recognition of complex pictures were studied. Two kinds of pictures were used: pictures of objects forming real-world scenes and unorganized collections of the same objects. (Editor)

This series of experiments was designed to evaluate a model of picture and word encoding. The primary assumptions are that both sensory and semantic codes can be activated for both pictures and words but the relative order of access to phonemic information is different for the two types of representation. (Editor/RK)

Pictures generally show superior recognition relative to their verbal labels. This experiment was designed to link this pictorial superiority effect to sensory or meaning codes associated with the two types of symbols. (Editor)

These experiments consider similarities and differences between classifications of pictorial and verbal stimuli in order to investigate whether the kinds of information used differ depending on the stimulus class. Three hypotheses regarding the information used in picture and word classification were evaluated. (Author/RK)

Comparisons between recall levels following simple acoustic or visual tasks and the simultaneous visual-plus-acoustic task are not based upon equivalent amounts of interference within each modality. This research attempts to test more precisely the relationship between visual and acoustic interference by using a sequential rather than a…

A recognition memory experiment investigated memory scanning when stimuli were organized but not easily labeled verbally. The principle findings indicated that the organization of the to-be-remembered sets had a pronounced influence on performance. (Editor/RK)
