The priority effect being studied is higher first-list than second-list recall induced by the absence of an immediate test on the first list. The hypothesis that this effect is caused by the subject's expectation of a later test was tested in this experiment. (Author/RM)

This experiment was directed at clarifying the role of verbal associative responses in stimulus recognition. The effects of both distinctive and equivalent verbal labels were assessed. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present experiment was to clarify the nature of retrieving information from Long Term Storage by using forced recall as well as free recall to determine whether further search may lead to retrieval of additional repeated items. (Author/RK)

A technique that can be used to study the effects of low-level, rote, repetitive (Type I) rehearsal is introduced and validated. The technique is then used to investigate the relationship between the amount of Type I rehearsal and recognition memory performance. (Author/RM)

The purpose of this investigation was to test the efficacy of a study method which was designed to reduce or eliminate verbal learning differences between high and low learning ability Ss. (Authors)

To test the hypothesis that item-selection artifacts may distort data from the overt-rehearsal procedure in single-trial free recall, a controlled procedure was used where to-be-rehearsed items were presented to the subject rather than selected by him. No differences were found between the two procedures. (SW)

Describes two experiments in which Ss were given 48 trials, using word lists as stimuli, followed by an unexpected final free recall test. (Author/RM)

Tested the hypothesis that individual differences in immediate-verbal-memory span predict success in second-language vocabulary acquisition. In the two-session study, adult subjects learned 56 English-Finnish translations. Tested one week later, subjects were less likely to remember those words they had difficulty learning, even though they had…
