This study examined the effects of involuntary mental time travel into the past and into the future on prospective teachers' feelings and behaviors during the period of a class hour. A total of 110 prospective teachers participated voluntarily in the study. The results of the present study showed that (a) the involuntary mental time travel into…

This research has demonstrated that first, short term memory (Jensen's Level I) has only a moderate index of heritability; second, that the general intellective factor g' (Jensen's Level II) has somewhat high heritability; and third, that no evidence of hereditary variation appeared in the Figural and Verbal Divergent Thinking measures.…

One hundred and eight 12-year-old children recalled words from sentences they had rated as producing bizarre images significantly better than they recalled the same words from sentences rated as producing ordinary images. A tentative explanation is offered in terms of a cognitive approach to perception itself. (Editor/RK)

Using a network of comparisons, B. Hayes-Roth and F. Hayes-Roth found that subjects performed better on adjacent than on nonadjacent comparisons. Results suggested that such networks are processed in a manner fundamentally different from simple linear arrays. Here subjects were required to learn a similar knowledge structure. These results…

The hypothesis that the "self" concept is active in memory was tested in a series of recognition experiments involving first- and third-person sentences under several instructional conditions. Results were interpreted as congruent with the notion that the "self" can be seen as a cognitive structure with both a memory component…

The Wechsler Memory Scale was administered to 112 patients who had been referred to a clinical psychologist for investigation of cognitive functioning with regard to possible or actual organic pathology of the brain. The aim was to replicate the factor structure of this test found in a previous study. (Editor)

Results indicated that the nature of a memory unit does not change with age, that memory improves with age, and that separate visual and verbal memories are operative in Ss in this age range. (Author)

The present experiment attempts to manipulate the saliency of subjects' recollection of their behavior by giving them a task to do which requires them to generate cognitions resulting in one of two sets of cognitive associations. (Author)

The author attempts to obtain some new evidence on simple addition processes in adults in order to evaluate the two additon models offered by Groen and Parkman (1972); a simple counting model and a more complex retrieval model, involving direct access and counting. (Author/RK)

Article attempted to show that new findings are emerging that may bring the study of probability learning closer to the mainstream of research on human memory and information processing. (Author/RK)

Primary purpose of this study was to investigate the processes underlying simple mental multiplication. (Author)

A battery of 28 individually administered tests, comprised of measures derived from the work of Piaget, of simple and complex learning, of language, short-term memory, long-term memory and intelligence were given to 210 children aged 5 to 6 during their first year of schooling. (Editor)

Three word-identification experiments suggest that a model derived from experiments with pseudowords can be applied successfully to word identification. The data derived from the experiments confirm the role of higher order verbal units in word identification and suggest the structural components of a verbal-mediation theory of reading. (Editor/RK)

Tests of reading and mathematical understanding were administered to 210 children from three socio-economic backgrounds who had been tested 12 months earlier during their first year at school (AA 525 131). (Editor/RK)
