The effects of delaying an immediate test, a rehearsal opportunity, or a second presentation on long-term free recall were investigated in an experiment combining features of the Brown-Peterson and free-recall paradigms. A proposed model assumes that both repetitions and tests promote learning. (CHK)

Ordering preferences for English adjectives in attributive (prenominal) and predicative (postnominal) positions were found to be in general agreement. Semantically congruent and incongruent adjectives were compared regarding ordering preferences and a "borrowing" theory is proposed. (CHK)

Spoonerisms can be elicited by having the subject articulate a target preceded by bias items. Any systematic difference in rate of errors between similar targets must result from processes after recoding of target into its slip. Editing processes make lexical outcomes more frequent than nonsense outcomes. (CHK)

When subjects are tested on ordered information, performance is better on inferences than on information actually presented during training. Humphreys suggested that superiority on inferences derives from differential frequency. This experiment refutes that position, demonstrating that superiority on inferences is observed even when frequency is…

Subjects were asked to encode and recall lists of words under the influences of marijuana and a marijuana placebo. Free recall was more complete when both encoding and recall were after marijuana use than in the encode-marijuana, recall-placebo state. Recall must depend on restoration of dissociated encoding state. (CHK)
