The method of transfer learning was manipulated in a study of proactive inhibition. Results suggest that the joint recall of two lists during transfer increases list differentiation and reduces competition between alternative sets of responses on the retention test. (Editor/RK)

Two experiments found reduced proactive inhibition when subjects were induced to use the nonpreferred components of a compound stimulus during first-list learning. (Editor)

Purpose of this study was to examine the correspondence between digraph analysis of content structure and word associations. (Author)

Questions processes involved in physical matching task when stimuli are presented for duration short enough to prevent physical scanning. Research supported by U.S. Public Health Service. (DS)

The chaining, position, and dual-process hypotheses of serial learning (SL) as well as serial recall, reordering, and relearning of paired-associate learning were examined to establish learning patterns. Results provide evidence for dual-process hypothesis. (DS)

This study investigated the possible contribution of pictures serving a representation function to the recall and retention of information presented in written prose passages. The primary variable considered was the durability of picture effects; a second variable concerned the potential effect the presence of pictures had on the recall of…
