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.…

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)

Two experiments investigated the effect of homograph stimuli in paired-associate transfer paradigms. (Editor)

The abstraction of prototypical information and the classification of new exemplars was investigated as a function of category size and the number of categories that had to be distinguished during learning. (Editor)

Article compared reception with selection stimulus-presentation procedures as research methods in human conceptual behavior. (Author/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. (Author/RK)

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

Two concept learning experiments were performed in which the stimulus dimensions were applicable to persons. (Editor)

In a paired-associate paradigm, stimulus-response pairs were generated from a rule matrix. (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 encoding specificity effect was examined in three recognition memory experiments employing an associative processing (cuing) task. (Editor)

Two experiments examined the effect on recall of a response prefix, a redundant element emitted after the presentation of a memory series but before recall was completed. (Editor)

Two experiments were conducted in which to-be-learned information was systematically structured into either a hierarchy of nested categories or a single level of categorical organization. (Editor)
