Peer reviewedGhatala, Elizabeth S.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1978
Examines fourth grade children's memory for information contained in target sentences presented 24 hours earlier. Examines the occurrence of interference by presenting multiple choice response options consisting of a correct word, a new word, and a word which occurred in a previous sentence. Attempts to extend the principles of frequency theory.…

Download full textSimon, Herbert A. – 1975
In this paper, Simon describes contemporary information processing approaches to the study of learning and thinking, and discusses the relevance of these studies to the distinction between rote and meaningful learning. Before defining the basic terminology of information processing research, he provides a brief literature review, describing some…

PDF pending restorationSturges, Persis T.; Frase, Lawrence T. – 1972
The present study explored the effects of complex relational sentences upon the acquisition and recall of surrounding material in immediate and long-term memory. The study also investigated the effects of an immediate prompted recall test upon long-term retention, and the recallability of different types of content. Reading time (subject-paced; 16…

Matthews, Paul G.; Atkinson, Richard C. – 1975
This paper reports an experiment designed to test theoretical relations among fast problem solving, more complex and slower problem solving, and research concerning fundamental memory processes. Using a cathode ray tube, subjects were presented with propositions of the form "Y is in list X" which they memorized. In later testing they were asked to…

Peer reviewedRiley, Christine A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1976
The question of how children represent and use comparative or partially ordered information is examined. Two experiments tested a conjecture that a common representation, a linear order, underlies the processing of all comparatives. (Author/MS)

Leshowitz, Barry; And Others – 1974
A series of experiments are described which were conducted to further refine experimental paradigms for the investigation of information processing skills relevant to pilot training. A series of tasks have been developed and studied which attempt to measure the individual's information processing capacity as well as his susceptibility to…
