Primary purpose of the present research was to test the reasoning that any procedure that interferes with the naming of the test stimuli, while leaving visual complexity unaffected, ought to increase the detrimental effects on reaction time and accuracy produced by changing case. (Authors/CB)

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

Kindergarten children were trained to make same-different judgments of either 2 or 4 standard figures under either 2 or 4 transformations before being transferred to a novel set of figures. (Editor)

The purpose of the present experiment was to examine the effects of input variation upon recall performance in relation to two specific issues derived from the perceptual regrouping hypothesis. (Author)

Research studies how visual information and redundancy contribute to letter and word identification. (Authors)

Three experiments are described which were designed to explore the usefulness of the three principles of abbreviation and to examine the effects of certain stimulus variables. (Authors/CB)

The basic hypothesis of these experiments was that the processing strategy for the transfer of alphabetic material from iconic storage to short-term memory involves a sequential left-to-right factor that develops with increases in experience with reading. (Author)

The Ss were required to retain a short list of items for an entire experiment while processing successive different short lists of items in the Sternberg paradigm. (Editor)

It is proposed that in the process of letter perception a preliminary nonverbal code is available in the right hemisphere until superceded by a verbal code in the left hemisphere. (Editor)

Results supported the hypothesis that bilinguals would make more errors in English than native speakers, and that English unilinguals would err more on German than on English pentagrams. (Author)

The purpose of the present experiments is to investigate the question of whether the physical match subsystem necessarily precedes the naming process. (Author)

Results showed that naming latency, for both letters and words, is sensitive to the number of items in the preceding list and also to the serial location of the probe item in the list. (Author)

The present study is an extension of Conrad's work on short-term memory with the emphasis on the kinds of confusions the deaf make in recalling visually presented letters and how they differ from those made by hearing Ss. (Author/RK)
