Puff, C. Richard; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
The extent to which subjects showing relatively high amounts of categorical clustering recalled more words than subjects showing relatively low amounts of clustering was investigated in three free-recall experiments with categorized lists. (Editor)

Macht, Michael L.; Spear, Norman E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Two experiments investigated the effects of a prior-cuing procedure on retention after short intervals. Results indicated that both latency of correct recall and category recall are facilitated by a cue statement administered prior to the recall test. Results are also discussed in relation to spreading-activation models of memory processing.…

Petrusic, William M.; Jamieson, Donald G. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Attempts to determine whether a sufficiently demanding and difficult interpolated task (shadowing, i.e., repeating aloud) would decrease recall for earlier-presented items as well as for more recent items. Listening to music was included as a second interpolated task. Results support views that serial position effects reflect a single process.…

Hunt, R. Reed; Mitchell, David B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Investigates the effect of specificity on retention following nonsemantic processing. Five experiments are reported in which structural specificity was manipulated along with either phonemic or orthographic dimensions, and process specificity was manipulated by variations in the nonsemantic orienting tasks. Data are interpreted in terms of a…

Park, Soja; Arbuckle, Tannis Y. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Four experiments examined the memory of Korean subjects for words written in the two writing systems used in Korea, one alphabetic, the other ideographic. The impetus for the investigation was the apparently different encoding properties of the two scripts, with alphabets seeming to encode sound and ideograms, meaning. (Editor)

Blumenthal, Gary B.; Robbins, Donald – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Three experiments were conducted, investigating the buildup of and the release from proactive interference, in which the stimulus materials were brief prose passages about specific topics. Each passage was followed by a multiple-choice test, and then a final test on all the passages read was given. Implications of the data for standardized tests…

Underwood, Benton J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Two experiments examined factors underlying false alarms on recognition tests when the elements of the test items were presented alone for study at different points in time, and when the elements were parts of different 2-element units during study. (Editor)

Lawson, Robert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Two experiments were conducted in order to investigate the relationship between memory for individual sentences and memory for the holisitic ideas conveyed by those sentences. (Editor)

Erdelyi, Matthew Hugh; Kleinbard, Jeff – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Recent laboratory work on the recall of pictures has produced a pattern suggesting that memory for certain classes of stimuli may be hypermnesiac rather than amnesiac (Ebbinghaus, 1885/1964), increasing over time and recall attempts. This research tries to determine the magnitude of memory growth over significant time intervals, e.g., a week…

Shoben, Edward J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
In an attempt to assess the validity of the distinction between episodic and semantic memory, this research examined the influence of two variables on sentence verification (presumably a semantic memory task) and sentence recognition (presumably an episodic memory task). ( Editor)

Hasher, Lynn; Griffin, Mary – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
A perspective, based on an elaboration of Underwood's (1969) attributes model of memory, is advanced which proposes that for all types of information both detailed and thematic attributes are stored. Two experiments using prose passages as stimulus materials test this proposal. (Editor/RK)

Proctor, Robert W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
In two experiments, recognition accuracy was compared between subjects who made frequency judgments and subjects who made recognition judgments. Results indicate that at least partially different information in memory is evaluated when judging frequency than when making recognition judgments and that this information facilitates recognition…

Bartling, Carl A.; Thompson, Charles P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
The paradigm producing recognition failure of recallable words was investigated in a series of three experiments. Results indicate that retrieval asymmetry: (a) exists in the recognition failure paradigm directly following list study, (b) increases significantly following a free-association task aimed at generation of the target words from the…

Keller, Dennis; Kellas, George – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
The salience of encoding attributes in instances of differing levels of category membership was examined using the release from proactive interference (PI) task with college students. Results are discussed in terms of providing converging evidence for Rosch's (1973,1975) theory of semantic category structure. (Editor/RK)

Santa, John L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Three experiments contrasted subjects' memory for verbal and figural displays. Data are discussed in terms of a multiple coding model, which is suggested as a more fruitful approach than single-code models such as those proposed by Pylyshyn or Anderson and Bower. (Editor/RK)
