Proactive Inhibition in Short-Term Retention of Pictures
Fox, Charles; Yuille, John C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
The present study is an attempt to determine whether the build-up and release of PI (Proactive Inhibition) previously reported for verbal STM (Short-Term Memory) can be obtained when visual STM is involved. (Author/RK)

Retroactive Inhibition in Free Recall: Inaccessibility of Information Available in the Memory Store
Tulving, Endel; Psotka, Joseph – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1971
Descriptors: Inhibition, Memory, Recall (Psychology), Word Lists
Physical Size Shift and Release of Proactive Inhibition in Short Term Memory
Elliott, Maxwell C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present experiment was done to investigate the abilities of an effective isolation dimension (size) in a Short Term Memory release-of-proactive inhibition design. (Author/RK)

Recall Improves in Short-Term Memory The More Recall Context Resembles Learning Context
Falkenberg, Philippe R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Eight experiments are reported: the first four demonstrate the context effects in short-term-memory (that retrieval from STM improves as the context for learning is made more similar to the context for retrieval), and four more experiments examine the mechanism by which the context effect might operate.

Form Class as an Effective Encoding Dimension in Short Term Memory
Bird, Charles P.; Goodwin, C. James – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Two experiments were conducted using the procedure reported by Wickens in 1972 for the study of relevant encoding dimensions in short-term memory. (Editor)

Connotative Evaluation and Concreteness Shifts in Short-Term Memory
Goedel, George D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Encoding processes were investigated using the release from proactive inhibition (PI) paradigm with word triades derived from the factorial Manipulation of evaluative connotation (E) and concreteness (C). (Editor)
Descriptors: Experimental Psychology, Inhibition, Memory, Recall (Psychology)
Words and Pictures as Distinct Encoding Categories in Short-Term Memory
Wells, J. Elisabeth – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Results of this experiment show a considerable release from proactive inhibition with a shift from words to pictures or pictures to words, thus adding one more change to the considerable number of category changes which produce the release phenomenon. (Author/CB)

Intralist Cuing following Retroactive Inhibition of Well-Learned Items
Blake, Milton; Okada, Ronald – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
The effects of list-item cuing under conditions of extensive free-recall learning were examined within a retroactive inhibition paradigm. (Editor)

Proactive Effects in Short-Term Recognition Memory
Gorfein, David S.; Jacobson, David E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Basic experimental design tested to see whether semantic shifts and variation of intertrial interval influences performance in short-term recognition memory in a manner similar to their influence in short-term recall. (Authors)

Proactive Interference in Short-Term Recognition and Recall Memory
Dillon, Richard F.; Petrusic, William M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Purpose of study was to (a) compare the rate of increase of proactive interference over the first few trials under recall and recognition memory test conditions, (2) determine the effects of two types of distractors on short-term recognition, and (3) test memory after proactive interference had reached a stable level under each of three test…
