An examination of previous claims for virtually perfect time-sharing in dual-task situations reveals confounding effects that may have obscured dual-task interference. Two experiments are conducted in which these confounding effects are minimized, revealing statistically significant dual-task interference. These results support the hypothesis that…

Some task variables that influence sentence coding, and the ways in which those influences appear to be manifested in performance were outlined. Trends in empirical data were examined as evidence for two classes of coding strategies. (Author/RK)

Three experiments are reported that were designed to delineate the properties of the stimulus encoding stage in reaction time tasks of varying stimulus-response compatibility. (Editor)

Authors examines the limits of selective attention during early stages of information processing. (Author/RK)

The present investigation was undertaken to study the relation of one component of intonation or stress, namely, rhythmic temporal patterns, to the production of utterances.It is hypothesized that the rhythmic schema of an utterance contains information that delimits the possible syntactic forms of that utterance.

There is a conflict in the literature on selective attention. Five experiments were conducted to resolve this conflict, and all involved a comparison of tachistoscopic recognition when alternatives were either presented beforehand or not. (Editor/RK)

Authors studied the human being as an active language processor in different task environments. They examined the empirical trends in two different performance situations where the subject processed and used linguistic information. Theories about subject's processing abilities in those situations were entertained. (Author/RK)

This article reported the development of a method aimed at exploring the relations among covert muscle behavior, mental imagery, and the perception of external stimulation. (Author/RK)

In 1974 Wood proposed a hybrid serial-parallel model to account for the within-stimulus interactions between the acoustic cue of "pitch" and the phonetic cue of "place". These experiments found Wood's research independent of his subjects' experience, the order of cue presentation, and whether the cues are presented simultaneously or sequentially.…

This research investigated the extent to which three suggested divided- attention effects--time delay, noise addition, and response bias change, as assessed by three cross-over-model parameters--were manifest when a manual, compensatory tracking task was performed concurrently with two secondary tasks.
