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)

Effects of Output Order on Immediate, Delayed, and Final Recall Performance
Dalezman, Joseph J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Examines the effects of recall strategies on the serial position curve in immediate and delayed recall. (Author/RK)

A Case for Response-Produced Cues in Serial Learning
Slamecka, Norman J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Examines the familiar serial to derived paired-associates transfer task in the light of expectations about the amount of positive transfer it should produce. Suggests, contrary to long-standing assumptions, that this paradigm cannot be expected to yield more than relatively moderate degrees of transfer because the utilization of response-produced…

Recall and Use of Serial Position Information
Toglia, Michael P.; Kimble, Gregory A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Memory for serial position was examined in two experiments, while a third study investigated the extent to which such information could be put to use. (Editor)

Item and Order Information in Short-Term Serial Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Murdock, Bennet B., Jr. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 1976
Deals with memory for lists of items. The literature is briefly reviewed, and the main difficulties for traditional explanations of serial order effects are noted. (RK)

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)

Measures of Sensitivity and Response Bias for the Probe-Type Serial Memory Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Berch, Daniel B. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1975
Several measures of sensitivity (unbiased retention) and response bias are described and evaluated in terms of their applicability to the probe-type serial memory task. Suggestions are made regarding the major factors that should be considered when selecting an index for one's data. (Author/GO)

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)

Perlmutter, Marion; And Others – 1977
This paper describes a series of studies which examine the early development of recall. Subjects were children about 2 1/2 and 5 years of age. Recall was tested on nine-item lists which were either composed of three objects from each of three conceptual categories or nine objects from nine different conceptual categories. Age differences were…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Siegel, Alexander W.; Allik, Judith P. – 1972
Kindergarten, second-grade, fifth-grade, and college subjects were tested in a serial-position recall task under each of four conditions: Visual stimuli/visual recall cue, visual stimuli/auditory recall cue, auditory stimuli/visual recall cue, auditory stimuli/auditory recall cue. Visual stimuli were pictures of common animals and objects;…
