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

The question under investigation in the present paper is whether subjects can effectively use retention interval information under demanding acquisition and retention conditions, specifically, to evaluate the contribution of retention interval information to memory performance when temporal information is made explicitly available. (Author/RK)

Four experiments examined the effect of label training on redintegrative memory for novel shapes (remembering the whole shape when only a part is presented). (Editor)

In two experiments, subjects were given five successive short-term memory tests. The findings suggested spatial location as a potential encoding dimension of verbal material. (Editor/RK)

The three experiments reported in this article were concerned with the question of how response factors influence the process of stimulus encoding. (Author)

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.

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)

The effect of different organizational instructions in free-recall learning on 5-7 day retention was studied in two experiments. (Editor)

The latency to classify a test item as not being from a memorized list of category words is usually slower when the test items are categorically related to memorized words than when they are unrelated. This observation has been explained by four models of recognition, which are evaluated here. (Editor/RK)

Four experiments were conducted where words were recalled after presentation either in hierarchical fashion or in a matrix. The intention was to examine whether the original advantage for hierarchical retrieval systems could be duplicated for matrix systems, and if there was any particular advantage or disadvantage for either type of structure.…

Attempts to measure the involvement of an active memory process in the storage of the memory stimulus and to determine if such involvement is necessary for obtaining a Posner effect, which suggest that visual memory is not damaged by distractor tasks. (Author/RK)

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…

Serial position curves for the immediate serial recall of supraspan word lists were investigated as a joint function of input modality and the frequency with which the list words occur in everyday usage. (Editor)

This research investigates whether subjects who receive the premises for a linear ordering in story format acquire a different memory structure and use a different solution algorithm than subjects who receive the same premises in equation format. (Author/RK)
