Peer reviewedSchmitt, John C.; Scheirer, C. James – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
Mixed lists of digit pairs and consonant pairs were presented under Sternberg's scanning paradigm. The results indicated that the subjects partitioned this material into discriminable subsets but apparently only used that structure to reduce response latency when the test probes were negative. Probe familiarity is discussed as a basis for this…

Polich, John M.; Potts, George R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Subjects responded to pairs of test items from learned linear orderings (e.g., Tom is taller than Dick; Dick is taller than Sam, etc.). Results are compared with previous studies of ordered linguistic, perceptual, and numerical information. (Editor/RK)

Peer reviewedThomas, John C.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
Older people seem to have difficulty learning new materials, perhaps because it takes them longer to retrieve relevant encoding information from memory. To assess the effects of age on speed of retrieval, 60 health males from 25 to 74 were shown pictures of common objects they were name aloud as quickly as possible. (Editor)

Author presented a theory of thinking designed to multiply our power as thinkers, problem-solvers and learners. (Author/RK)

Peer reviewedHolloway, Frank A.; Sturgis, Robert D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 1976
Investigates the nature of the rhythmic process mediating multiple retention deficits in rats, i.e., whether it was induced by a training procedure or based on a pre-existing physiological rhythm. Also concerns the mechanism of the rhythm's effect on retention performance, whether it affects performance factors per se or the retrieval of prior…

Peer reviewedRabinowitz, Jan C.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1977
The assumption that recall and recognition involve different processes has been attacked and defended in recent years on both theoretical and empirical grounds. This research extends the notion that retrieval processes are operative in recognition as well as in free recall of individual words. (Editor/RK)

DeRosa, Donald V.; Tkacz, Sharon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
A recognition memory experiment investigated memory scanning when stimuli were organized but not easily labeled verbally. The principle findings indicated that the organization of the to-be-remembered sets had a pronounced influence on performance. (Editor/RK)

Wickelgren, Wayne A.; Corbett, Albert T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Presents a speed-accuracy tradeoff method for studying the dynamics of memory retrieval in recall that may be useful in studying the relationship between recall and recognition. Describes the method and uses it to compare retrieval dynamics in recall and recognition as a function of the presence or absence of associative inference. (Author/RK)

Glenberg, Arthur M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
A two-process theory of the spacing (lag) effect in free recall is presented and tested. (Editor/RK)
