Massaro, Dominic W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
To what extent does prior knowledge of a superordinate category facilitate recognition of an instance of that category? The results of this study reveal that the facilitating effect of a category prime on perceptual processing is inversely related to the quality of the stimulus information available. (Author/RK)

Koppell, Steven – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Response latency (RL), accuracy, and confidence data were obtained from six subjects, each tested for 20 experimental sessions in a long-term recognition memory paradigm. Based on signal detection theory assumptions, functions were derived that described the relationship between RL and the separation of test item and criterion along a theoretical…

Salthouse, Timothy A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

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…

Sabol, Mark A.; Derosa, Donald V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
The present study, by requiring subjects to decide whether the two words in a stimulus pair have the same or different meanings, is an attempt to measure the time necessary to encode a printed word into a representation of its meaning which is available for subsequent matching. (Author)

Ashcraft, Mark H.; Battaglia, John – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
The author attempts to obtain some new evidence on simple addition processes in adults in order to evaluate the two additon models offered by Groen and Parkman (1972); a simple counting model and a more complex retrieval model, involving direct access and counting. (Author/RK)

Flexser, Arthur J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
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)

Howard, Darlene V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
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)

DeRosa, Donald V.; Tkacz, Sharon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
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)
