Foss, Donald J.; Harwood, David A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
This paper evaluates associative theories of sentence memory, based on the model of J.R. Anderson and G.H. Bower. A model of Human Associative Memory (HAM) is generalized and defined, and alternative models incorporating configural information are presented. (CK)

Hayes-Roth, Barbara; Thorndyke, Perry W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Three experiments investigated factors influencing the integration of facts acquired from texts. Subjects encountered related facts in the context of relatively long, meaningful texts, a single text, or in two separate texts. Results indicate that integration can occur in both cases. (SW)

Rabinowitz, Jan C.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
The hypothesis that free recall involves the generation of candidate items followed by a decision process was tested in a situation which compared a standard recall test with a test that involved the overt generation and recognition of candidate items. (SW)

Schacter, Daniel L.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Examines in some detail Richard Semon's analysis of human memory, places this analysis in its historical context, and discusses some reasons why this work is virtually unknown today. (Author/AM)

Nelson, Thomas O. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Three new experiments concerning the depth-of-processing view demonstrate that repetition at the phonemic depth of processing does facilitate memory, regardless of whether the repetitions are massed or distributed and regardless of whether the dependent variable is uncued recall, cued recall or recognition. (Author/RM)

Stein, Barry S.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Reports on two experiments which question the assumption that semantic processing is superior to nonsemantic processing, and which demonstrate that effective semantic elaboration cannot be equated with the quantity of semantically congrous information. (Author/AM)

James, Carlton; Hillinger, Michael – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
The Bransford and Franks paradigm for the study of semantic integration is called into question. Three experiments are described that test the hypothesis that this paradigm produces its results by creating confusion and interference. The results call for continued search for a paradigm relative to the study of integration. (AMH)

Mueller, Christian; Watkins, Michael – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
A description of four experiments confirming the theory that recall of a given item from a semantically categorized list is impaired by the presence of other items from this same category. This inhibitory effect of part-set "cuing" is interpreted here as a cue-overload effect. Selected references are included. (AMH)

Reed, Adam – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
The introduction of laboratory computers has facilitated investigation of quantitative theories in the investigation of memory. Data from a recent qualitative study was used to test two quantitative theories. The strength-resistance theory fitted the data quantitatively without significant deviations. Statistical tables and references are…

Johnson, Ronald E.; Scheidt, Barbara J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
An attempt was made to identify comparable subjective subsequences in the serial learning of a prose passage and to examine the relationship of such organizational encodings to the variable of structural importance. Results of serial learning and free recall indicated learners associatively organized individual prose subunits into subjective…
