Prior-List Intrusions in Serial Recall Are Positional
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Osth, Adam F.; Dennis, Simon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Henson (1996) provided a number of demonstrations of error patterns in serial recall that contradict chaining models. One such error pattern concerned when participants make intrusions from prior lists: Rather than originating from random positions in the prior list, intrusions tend to be recalled in the same position as their position in the…

Rehearsal Strategies and Partial Recall in Immediate Memory
Bartz, Wayne H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
It was concluded that the retrieval of information from immediate memory is dependent upon the degree of rehearsal of presented information. (Author)

The Role of Semantic Information in Short-Term Memory
Wetherick, N. E. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Short-term memory for single-syllable words is negatively related to the number of semantic categories from which the words are drawn. Test results are inconsistent with any theory postulating a separate short-term memory that takes no account of semantic factors. (CHK)

Free Recall of Grouped Words
Gianutsos, Rosamond – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Purpose of these four experiments was to elucidate the role of grouping in remembering words by using single-trial free recall. (Author/CB)

The Derivation of Endpoint and Distance Effects in Linear Orderings from Frequency Information
Humphreys, Michael S. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Endpoint and distance effects have been observed in the protocols of subjects learning linear orderings. These were produced by subjects learning the frequency of word occurrence as the greater member of a relationship. Error patterns were similar on all trials. (CHK)

Naming Latency Facilitation: An Analysis of the Encoding Component in Recogntion Reaction Time
Kirsner, Kim – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
Results showed that naming latency, for both letters and words, is sensitive to the number of items in the preceding list and also to the serial location of the probe item in the list. (Author)
