The present paper reports a series of studies to investigate the role of word associations and to see if concrete operational children could solve verbal analogies by logical analysis. (Author)

The purpose of the present study was to directly assess the strength and stability of acoustically mediated word associations under conditions which should maximize their occurrence. (Author)

The present experiments were an attempt to clarify the mixed results on the interitem manipulation of implicit associative responses in verbal discrimination. (Author)

The method of transfer learning was manipulated in a study of proactive inhibition. Results suggest that the joint recall of two lists during transfer increases list differentiation and reduces competition between alternative sets of responses on the retention test. (Editor/RK)

This research has three purposes: 1) to determine whether subjects instructed to study silently in a free-recall experiment engage in associative encoding, 2) to test the validity of associative ability as an individual difference variable, 3) to test for an interaction between presentation rate and associative reaction time. (Editor/RK)

A series of three studies is presented, each building on the other to validate the utility of reinforcement value, an affective dimension of meaningfulness based on ratings of likability. (Authors)

Purpose of experiment was to provide evidence for the role of contextual associations in memory for serial position because position judgments are affected by factors other than those correlated by time. (DS)

Objective of this study was to determine subjects' reliability in rating randomly played ascending and descending melodic intervals within the octave on the basis of their familiarity with each type of interval and the frequency of their having experienced each type of interval in music. (Author/CB)

Two experiments found reduced proactive inhibition when subjects were induced to use the nonpreferred components of a compound stimulus during first-list learning. (Editor)

Results were interpreted as support for the hypothesis that making associations to verbal units facilitates recall and that reaction time is an index of the facility with which associations can be made. (Authors)

Four experiments using varying methodological factors examined the frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning. (MB)

Extensive, yet selective, changes in word associate choices were obtained with the procedures presently studied; suggesting that simple nonverbal," response formats may facilitate investigation of cognitive and social behavior in young children. (Authors)

Studies conducted among the Kpelle of north central Liberia whose present cultural milieu offers unique possibilities for studying the role of particular experiential factors, particularly education, on the development of paradigmatic response. (Authors)

Tests the theory that culturally associated words in a pair and nonassociated words in a pair differ after a single study trial in terms of their frequency representation in memory. (Editor/RK)
