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 study was designed to investigate the effect of individual differences in habitually preferred number of categories (PNC) on the form and interpretation of the category-recall function. (Editor)

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…

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 article focused on the level of analysis at which two selection processes: filtering and pigeon holing, operate. (Author/RK)

The present study was designed to examine further the relation between amount of rehearsal and recall probability. (Author)

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 suggested that simple nameable pictures and individual words both involve the use of verbal processes in retention, and to about the same extent. (Author/RK)

The role of instructions about list overlap was investigated in typical part-whole free-recall transfer and in partially overlapping lists where only half of List 1 was included in List 2. (Editor)

Three experiments studied the effect of amount and type of concurrent memory load on the rate of readout from iconic memory. (Editor)

An attempt was made to attenuate the severe anterograde amnesia of a patient with Korsakoff's Psychosis through the imposition of cues to assist memory. (Editor)

The isolation effect was studied in an experiment which measured, in different groups, either free recall or recognition of a series of words, each series containing one isolated item. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to assess whether or not categorized words are of similar benefit to short-term storage (STS). Specifically, can the use of categorized words be demonstrated to alleviate the limited rehearsal capacity of STS? (Author)

Recent studies suggest that the negative recency effect in final free recall is a function of the type rather than the amount of rehearsal given to terminal list items. From such findings it was predicted that by varying the type of rehearsal, positive recency in final free recall could be obtained. (Editor)

The present experiments were designed to explore the immediate effects of input order on the free recall of lists of numbers. (Author)
