The objective of the present study was to replicate a qualitative prediction, that prior relevance information is predicted to be a powerful performance variable, in the context of other variations as well as to assess new quantitative predictions for these conditions based on the theoretical work.

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)

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)

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)

Frequency Theory, deriving from word recognition studies, was applied to immediate recognition of nonrepresentational pictorial items by 12-year old Ss. (Author)

The present experiment was designed to determine whether there are any important differences in the tendency to repeat errors and correct responses as a function of their having been followed by reward or by information. (Author)

Dichotic presentation involves the auditory presentation of different verbal messages simultaneously. Investigations involving repetition effects on this process are discussed. (Author/RY)

Major implications of the results of this study are (a) their support for the reality or validity" of measured units of subjective organization, and (b) the effects on practice. (Author/RY)

Contrary to previous experiments which found recall with blocked spacing always superior to recall with random" spacings, these experiments found that total recall was a function of two independent factors: (a) category representation, and (b) items per category represented (IPC). Both factors are dependent upon within-category spacing.…

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

The purpose of the present experiments was to investigate the effects of backward masking on differential eyelid conditioning. (Author)

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)

This study attempts to discriminate between 2 theories about strategies Ss use when trying to remember a linear ordering. (Editor)

It is suggested on the basis of these findings and others that the linear effect in previous studies is due primarily to a particular instructional set and is irrelevant to the study of uniquely semantic processes. (Author/CB)

Forty-nine Ss learned a unidimensional concept with a six-dimensional stimulus set. Instructions specified the 12 possible unidimensional concepts, and the response on each trial was to give confidence ratings to each of the 12 corresponding hypotheses. (Author)
