Three experiments were conducted in an attempt to develop an account of information loss based on the relationships among events occurring at input, during a retention interval, and at output. (Editor)

This research examines how pictures differ from sentences on important memory dimensions, with specific reference to Bransford and Franks (1971). (Author/RK)

Investigates whether imagery and verbal encoding use different processing mechanisms and attempts to discover whether the processes underlying the use of imagery to retain words are also involved in like-modality perception. (Author/RK)

Experiment 1 showed that memory for movement extent was better for subjects who were allowed to preselect their own standard. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the role of active movement in preselected and nonpreselected movements.…
