Two experiments tested whether short-term memory accounts for the recency effect observed with rapid sequential presentation of nonverbal stimuli. (Editor)

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)

Extends the examination of Green and Purohit (1976) who used matrices of 0s and 1s as stimuli in exploring recognition memory. It was found that with greater density (distance between elements) and lesser complexity (number of elements in the matrix), recognition performance improved. Results contradict an earlier finding of Green and Purohit, who…

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)

In an attempt to assess the validity of the distinction between episodic and semantic memory, this research examined the influence of two variables on sentence verification (presumably a semantic memory task) and sentence recognition (presumably an episodic memory task). ( Editor)

Two experiments employed an incidental learning paradigm to assess mnemonic control processes. (Editor)

Individual items were tested for old-new and right-wrong identifications following one, two, or four study trials on a multiple-item recognition learning task. The pattern found for functional identifications suggests that frequency cues may be supplemented by other kinds of cues that enhance identifications of items in terms of their prior study…

Tulving's encoding specificity principle was examined in two experiments. The main comparison concerned the relationship between the retrieval cue or recognition context and input cue. (Editor)

Two experiments investigated long-term retention subsequent to directed forgetting. (Editor)

Attempts to help specify the boundary conditions for use of the recognition-recall method, i.e., recall made conditional upon recognition, and to use this method to evaluate a hypothesis about stimulus-concreteness effects with low-meaningful responses. (Author/RK)

Presents a speed-accuracy tradeoff method for studying the dynamics of memory retrieval in recall that may be useful in studying the relationship between recall and recognition. Describes the method and uses it to compare retrieval dynamics in recall and recognition as a function of the presence or absence of associative inference. (Author/RK)

The original impetus for this work was to characterize the extent to which olfactory experience can be incorporated into cognitive processes. The finding is that there is a respectable but limited verbal association learning and retention capability for odor stimuli in man. (Author)
