Is Time-Based Prospective Remembering Mediated by Self-Initiated Rehearsals? Role of Incidental Cues, Ongoing Activity, Age, and Motivation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kvavilashvili, Lia; Fisher, Laura – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2007
The present research examined self-reported rehearsal processes in naturalistic time-based prospective memory tasks (Study 1 and 2) and compared them with the processes in event-based tasks (Study 3). Participants had to remember to phone the experimenter either at a prearranged time (a time-based task) or after receiving a certain text message…

Distinctiveness and Serial Position in Short term Memory for Lifted Weights
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Detterman, Douglas K. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The experiments presented in this study tried to validate and clarify the notion of distinctiveness and the assumptions on which it is based, particularly as it relates to prediction of the serial-position effect. (Author/RK)

Total Time Hypothesis in Low Meaningful Serial Learning: Task, Age, and Verbalization Instructions
Koffman, Elaine Cooper; Weinstock, Roy B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present experiment tested whether the Total Time Hypothesis would remain valid when either response availability or S interest was low. (Author/RK)

Contextual Associations and Memory for Serial Position
Block, R. A.; Summers, J. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Purpose of experiment was to provide evidence for the role of contextual associations in memory for serial position because position judgments are affected by factors other than those correlated by time. (DS)

Stimulus Suffix Effects in Dichotic Memory
Parkinson, Stanley R.; Hubbard, Lora L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
in the present dichotic memory research, the addition of either a monaural stimulus suffix on the unattended ear or a binaural suffix was shown to selectively impair unattended-ear performance. (Editor)

Concept Learning As Processed By Task Sequence And Memory Support. Working Paper Number Eight.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Boutwell, Richard C.; Tennyson, Robert D. – 1973
The multivariate effect of task sequence, memory support, and state anxiety was investigated using a nonverbal concept acquisition task. Ninety-five Indian college students were randomly assigned to four treatment conditions resulting from the task sequences of 1) easy-to-hard and 2) hard-to-easy and from memory support versus nonmemory support.…

Depth of Processing in Recall and Recognition Memory: Differential Effects of Stimulus Meaningfulness and Serial Position
Seamon, John G.; Murray, Pauline – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Structural and semantic levels of processing were distinguished in two experiments that varied stimulus meaningfulness in an incidental learning paradigm. (Editor)

Children's Perceptual Organization of Seriated Displays: Evidence Against a Memory Reorganization Hypothesis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cromer, Richard F. – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
Results of this experiment provide support for the findings by Piaget & Inhelder (1973) that children's memory drawings of a seriated display improve over time as their cognitive abilities develop. (Author)

Short-term Serial Recall as a Function of Similarity, Serial Position, and Trials
McHugh, A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Research based on author's master thesis and supported by funds from the National Science Foundation. (DS)

Network Strength Theory of Storage and Retrieval Dynamics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wickelgren, Wayne A. – Psychological Review, 1976
The notion of strength is defined in several alternative ways for chains of associations connected in series and in parallel. Network strength theory is extended to handle retrieval dynamics for a network of associations, in a manner that permits various degrees of serial versus parallel manner that permits various degrees of serial versus…
