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

This study examined the effect of both temporal and nontemporal cues on frequency judgments of items presented in one or both of two successive word lists. (Author)

The main hypothesis of this article was that differences in the placement of rehearsals in word list sequences affected the quality of information retained in memory in a predictable manner. (Author/RK)

The role of instructions about list overlap was investigated in typical part-whole free-recall transfer and in partially overlapping lists where only half of List 1 was included in List 2. (Editor)

Three experiments were conducted to explore the conditions under which the presence of strong (repeated) items in a free recall list results in the reduced recall of weak (once-presented) items. (Editor)

Two experiments examined factors underlying false alarms on recognition tests when the elements of the test items were presented alone for study at different points in time, and when the elements were parts of different 2-element units during study. (Editor)

Two experiments explored the effects of three processing tasks on cued recall of related and unrelated word pairs. (Editor)

The two experiments reported here examined the effects on judgments of frequency of three independent variables: presentation frequency, spacing of repetitions, and orienting task. (Author)

The present research examines the encoding-variability theory and a blend of the voluntary-attention and habituation theories referred to herein as effort theory. (Author)

Recently, Nilsson (1975) challenged Watkins's conclusion that the modality effect is a post-categorical phenomenon. In this brief reply the authors argued that Nilsson's findings are not only consistent with the postcategorical interpretation but also inconsistent with the precategorical interpretation.

An experiment examined the mnemonic effects of initial testing with semantic, orthographic, temporal, and recognition cues. Results were interpreted within a levels-of-processing framework in which the nature of the information used in retrieval, rather than the speed or difficulty of retrieval determines subsequent accessibility. (Editor/RK)

A list discrimination paradigm was used to examine the effects of orienting tasks upon the later temporal discrimination of words. The orienting task involved judgments about the relatedness of the words in a list to some concept. (Editor)

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

Research has indicated that interference produced by the sharing of sensory features of paired-associate stimulus words was not eliminated by processing the pairs at the meaning level. These experiments were intended to extend the range of conditions under which the sensory interference effect might persist, and to incorporate the findings within…

The present article reports six studies that both extend the range of conditions that produce within-list serial position effects and attempt to unravel three possible theoretical explanations for these functions. (Editor)
