Rabinowitz, Mitchell; Mandler, Jean M. – 1981
In free recall learning, taxonomic organization has been studied almost to the exclusion of alternative types of organization. Consequently, little is known about how learning and memory are affected by alternative types of organizations. The present experiments explored the differential effects of two kinds of organization on free recall…

Goldberg, Robert A.; Grier, J. Brown – 1982
Relationships between verbal ability, semantic category clustering, and speed of retrieval were studied. Lists of 30 words were presented individually to subjects with high- and low-verbal ability under free recall, delayed free recall, and clustering recall conditions. In the first stage of recall, high verbals displayed a significantly higher…

Peer reviewedSchwartz, Steven; Wiedel, Timothy C. – Intelligence, 1978
The relation between individual differences in verbal ability and memory for order was investigated. Results indicated that (1) order and item information may be retained separately; (2) verbal ability is related to short-term recall but not recognition of order; and (3) transformation of order at output increases the relation.

Two studies were performed to investigate the effects of material and task variations in the acquisition of cognitive learning strategies. Groups of undergraduate students were taught to use mental imagery, meaningful elaboration, and grouping. The type of training task or the order of training and test materials differed for each of the…

James, Thomas G.; Brown, Bobby R. – 1973
Research investigated three topics. These were: 1) the effect of paragraph organization on free recall of sentences and on the selection of clustering strategies; 2) how persons differing in subjective organization differ on recall and strategy selection; and 3) the relation between subjective organization and other cognitive abilities. Three…

Kellogg, Ronald T. – 1987
A study focused on how the writer's knowledge of the language and use of a prewriting strategy for planning ideas affect the quality and efficiency of the writing. Three hypotheses were developed about how knowledge and strategy might influence writing performance: (1) independence (predicts that knowledge and strategy will independently improve…
