This research has three purposes: 1) to determine whether subjects instructed to study silently in a free-recall experiment engage in associative encoding, 2) to test the validity of associative ability as an individual difference variable, 3) to test for an interaction between presentation rate and associative reaction time. (Editor/RK)

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)

Tests the theory that culturally associated words in a pair and nonassociated words in a pair differ after a single study trial in terms of their frequency representation in memory. (Editor/RK)

Effect of instructional conditions on the nature of memory errors was studied using a false recognition procedure. (Authors)

The time course of the spread of activation in lexical memory was studied using naming latency as the measure of activation in a variable-duration priming paradigm. (Editor)

The possible interaction between age-relevant facilitative instructions and the occurrence of phonetic and semantic generalization was investigated. (Author)

Results of three experiments provided no substantial evidence of selective encoding. (Authors/MB)

Developmental changes in the relative dominance of three attributes of memory were investigated. (Authors)

Explores the "translation-recognition" task, using two experiments, one for adult Dutch learners of English and the second for people from the same population. Results suggest that translation recognition and translation production respond to the same manipulations, except when cognates and noncognates are focused on separately. (23…
