Previous research has investigated the effects of interpresentation lag within the context of experimenter-controlled lag values. The present study attempted to explore subject-controlled lag effects on paired-associate learning. (Editor)

The purpose of this study is to apply an information-processing approach to risky decision judgments using the theory of information integration (Anderson, 1974; Anderson & Shanteau, 1970). (Author)

Three experiments were performed to determine if the use of an organizational strategy influenced free-recall performance more than did the degree of semantic elaboration. (Editor)

According to Barlett (1932) remembering prose is a constructive process. Meaningful material is stored in memory in schematic form and recall is achieved by a process of reconstruction. Bartlett observed that recall becomes distorted with the passage of time. This research deals with constructive remembering over time in terms that are compatible…

Rates of overt rehearsal and eye movement were compared to each other, and were also compared as predictors of immediate and delayed recall. Concludes that total looking time was the best predictor of long-term retention and that recall performance following overt rehearsal was different from recall performance following silent study.

Three experiments were conducted in an attempt to develop an account of information loss based on the relationships among events occurring at input, during a retention interval, and at output. (Editor)

When shown a pair of digits and asked to select the larger of the two, subjects make their choice more quickly as the numerical difference between the digits increases. Presents and tests a semantic coding model that can explain this and all previous results. (Editor)

The role of differential rehearsal opportunity in the free recall of remember- (R) and forget- (F) cued words was investigated as a function of the method of presentation. (Editor)

This research examines how pictures differ from sentences on important memory dimensions, with specific reference to Bransford and Franks (1971). (Author/RK)

Three experiments examined the role of various sources of feedback in the development and maintenance of a complex ballistic skill, dart throwing, using extended practice. (Editor)

In recent years several models of human-information processing have been proposed in which the central component is a limited-capacity processing system. One line of research has focused on the question of which stages in the processing sequence require capacity in this system. This research is concerned with time and capacity demands in…

There are many tasks in which people are called on to disregard information that they have already processed. Dealing with inadmissible evidence in a courtroom setting, second-guessing the past, etc. This research investigates such difficulties in a general form, using almanac-type questions. (Editor/RK)

This research on eyelid conditioning was designed to evaluate the contributions of sensory, associative, and criterion effects with variations in the interstimulus interval. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the P300 component of the human evoked response as an index of bisensory information processing. Data shows that the P300 promises to be a valuable tool for assessing brain processes during complex decision making. (Editor/RK)
