The primary purpose of this study is to report the functional relation between recognition memory and degree of semantic contextual change and secondarily, to point out that the obtained relation can be described in terms of alternative theoretical approaches. (Author)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the nature of the processing of material for recall and recognition as a function of Ss' knowledge of mode of test in order to provide an interpretation of earlier studies. (Author/RK)

The aim of the present experiment was to determine the locus of the set effect of sentence context on the intelligibility of a member word. (Author)

The influence hypothesis argues that the perceptual superiority of words is due to S's opportunity to use the redundancy in words for making perceptual inferences, while the Unitization hypothesis argues that words are more perceptible because there are fewer units to process in a word than in a nonword. (Author)

Two possible modifications of the Bousfield et al. (1958) RR-IAR memory model were proposed to explain why backward associations between critical stimulus and experimental words do not result in increased experimental word false positive rates, while forward associations do. (Author)

The numerals 2-9 were randomly imbedded at one of three locations within words, pronounceable word fragments, and random sequences of letters which were presented tachistoscopically in random order to 24 Ss in a 3 x 3 repeated measures design. (Editor)

The present experiment was designed to provide another experimental analogue of semantic processing without storage available for later retrieval. (Author/RK)

An experiment was conducted comparing judgment of recency (JOR) for line drawings and printed words representing common objects. In a mixed design, groups of 15 Ss were tested using either pictures or words at either of two presentation rates. (Editor)

The present experiment showed that after learning a list of unrelated words organized onto subjective groupings, the representation of groupings in DWDs (double-word displays) affected RL (recognition latency) only when both words in a DWD were old. (Editor)

The present experiment supports the hypothesis that the letter is the basic perceptual unit in letter, nonword, and word identification. (Author)

The present experiment was designed to investigate recognition memory processes in a task in which the items to be recognized were stored in long-term memory (LTM), in short-term memory (STM), or in both memory stores. (Author/RK)

Results of these experiments are evaluated in conjunction with the hypothesis that frequency information is a dominant attribute in recognition decisions. (Author/MB)

The usual finding of superior recognition memory for rare items was observed. (Authors)

A factorial experiment which combined solution-word frequency, pre-problem-solving tasks, and S's spelling ability. (Author)

Two experiments manipulated the possible use of imagery by varying the imagery ratings of the noun pairs and by varying the instructional set. (Editor)
