Peer reviewedBrehmer, Berndt; Slovic, Paul – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1980
When college students attempted to integrate multiple cues into a single value judgment, the resulting cognitive load did not simplify cue-judgment relationships. Cue values were translated into judgment-relevant subjective values before integration. Findings support the information integration theory. (Author/CP)

Peer reviewedBoykin, A. Wade – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1977
On each of 10 trials, 80 college students were presented with a different set of five anagram tasks varying in complexity. Half the subjects rated the tasks for the amount of interestingness and half for the amount of pleasantness. (Editor/RK)

Peer reviewedMalin, Jane T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1979
Three problem-solving strategies--working backward from the unknown, forward from the given, and mixed--were applied to interrelated algebra equations. The mixed strategy was most popular and most efficient with grouped variables. Memory load or information-processing load differences among the strategies were evident. (CP)
