Among the objectives of the present study was the intention to replicate Spielberger and Denny's (1963) procedure with a different set of words, a different test of verbal ability, and a larger and different group of subjects. (Author/RK)

Subjects asked to recall the 20 items and (not necessarily in) their order on a list took 34 percent fewer trials to learn the list to three perfect trials than did subjects who were asked just to recall the items. (Editor)

This paper describes some of the more spectacular range effects reported in the literature. (Author)

The present experiment was directed at establishing the empirical relations between re-pairing and degree of training, and between re-pairing and information about that re-pairing. (Author)

Subjects were required to predict a recurring three-element binary pattern (RLL) under continuous reinforcement or under partial reinforcement on a variable-ratio schedule. (Editor)

This experiment attempted to obtain an estimate of perceptual isolation effects when the isolated item was the only distinctive feature in the list and to obtain data on continuous serial learning in order that isolation and serial-position effects could be compared directly. (Author/RK)

Although Tzeng (1973) and Bjork and Whitten (1974) have obtained positive recency effects in free recall using a procedure designed to eliminate any component of short-term storage, their procedures may not have truly cleared short-term storage. This experiment attempts to find whether positive recency would be obtained in a situation without any…

Uses new approaches to differentiate three types of models describing intuitive numerical prediction. (Author)

The present paper is concerned with uncontrollable, aversive stimulation. (Editor)

The experiments reported below attempted to reduce the availability of the A-C pairs and the dominance of the set of C responses to determine whether this would increase the subjects' access to the A-B pairs. (Author)

This investigation examined the effects of a variety of cue criterion function forms and attempted to evaluate the contribution of the factors just named, i.e., the response consistency of subjects, detection of task linearity, and the detection of task nonlinearity, to observed differences in learning. (Author/RK)

Earlier reports of the pain of putting hand and forearm in circulating ice water were recomputed to study how subjects scale that pain and to find appropriate measures of its reduction under hypnotic analgesia. (Editor)

The study compared multiple-list transfer (from three training lists) and single-list transfer (from one training list), with total amount of training held constant (at 3, 12, or 36 trials) and with each A-B' and A'-B training list at the same level of similarity to the transfer list. (Editor)

The present study investigated further the effects of semantic category on speed of matching a target word to words in a memory set. (Author)

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the results obtained by Knowles et al. were a result of varying levels of redundancy or varying levels of other task parameters. (Author)
