The purpose of this article was to show how Krantz's test (for threshold theories of signal detection) can be applied to examine the discrete-state assumption of the models proposed by Bernbach and Kintsch for recognition memory and to review some critical experimental data. (Author/RK)

Both recognition and recall of pictures improve as picture presentation time increases and as time between picture increases. This experiment was compared with an earlier one by Shaffer and Shiffrin (1972). (Editor/RK)

A probe-recognition short-term memory paradigm was used to inquire into the precise effects of sleep deprivation on human memory. (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)

A new theory for discrete motor learning was proposed that seemed capable of explaining a number of closed-loop postulations. (Editor/RK)

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)

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)
