This study was designed to investigate the effect of individual differences in habitually preferred number of categories (PNC) on the form and interpretation of the category-recall function. (Editor)

This article focused on the level of analysis at which two selection processes: filtering and pigeon holing, operate. (Author/RK)

This study examined the effect of both temporal and nontemporal cues on frequency judgments of items presented in one or both of two successive word lists. (Author)

Two experiments were carried out investigating the extent to which recognition responses to pictures are based on specific detail vs. general information. (Editor)

The present experiment was designed to investigate the influence of label training on the reporduction-recall of visual stimuli and follows in the tradition of the Gestalt memory-for-form literature. (Author)

In each of three experiments, both cue validities and task predictability were held constant while the sign of the cue validities and cue intercorrelation were varied. (Editor)

The role of instructions about list overlap was investigated in typical part-whole free-recall transfer and in partially overlapping lists where only half of List 1 was included in List 2. (Editor)

Two experiments examined factors underlying false alarms on recognition tests when the elements of the test items were presented alone for study at different points in time, and when the elements were parts of different 2-element units during study. (Editor)

The present experiments were designed to explore the immediate effects of input order on the free recall of lists of numbers. (Author)

The general purpose of this experiment was to determine whether differences in stimulus discrimination, as determined by the MIR (missing-item recognition) test, are correlated with interference in recall, as demanded by the discriminative coding hypothesis. (Author/RK)

Two experiments tracked the acquisition of skilled reading as college students read as many as 160 pages of geometrically inverted text and assessed the consequence for memory of skill at reading. Results were interpreted in terms that emphasized an operational basis to memory--pattern-analyzing procedures rather than conscious contents.…

The results of this experiment suggest that requiring subjects to simultaneously suppress subvocalization and remember syllables depresses performance slightly, but encoding of speech sounds in short-term memory occurs independently of subvocal activity during the memory task. (Editor/RK)

Response latency (RL), accuracy, and confidence data were obtained from six subjects, each tested for 20 experimental sessions in a long-term recognition memory paradigm. Based on signal detection theory assumptions, functions were derived that described the relationship between RL and the separation of test item and criterion along a theoretical…

In a factorial experiment, 90 male and 90 female subjects were given (a) either instructions to increase heart rate (HR), decrease HR, or no instructions to change their HR; (b) either true biofeedback, false biofeedback, or no biofeedback; and (c) either instructions concerning cognitions to help them change HR or no instructions concerning…

This study highlights some theoretical ideas which should be considered in attempting to assess the degree of abstraction underlying conceptual learning. (Author/RK)
