The purpose of this article was to show how Krantz's test (for threshold theories of signal detection) can be applied to examine the discrete-state assumption of the models proposed by Bernbach and Kintsch for recognition memory and to review some critical experimental data. (Author/RK)

This paper describes some of the more spectacular range effects reported in the literature. (Author)

Although Tzeng (1973) and Bjork and Whitten (1974) have obtained positive recency effects in free recall using a procedure designed to eliminate any component of short-term storage, their procedures may not have truly cleared short-term storage. This experiment attempts to find whether positive recency would be obtained in a situation without any…

The present research evaluated the refractorylike response decrement, as found in habituation of auditory evoked peripheral vasoconstriction in rabbits, to determine whether or not it represents a short-term habituation process distinct from effector fatigue or sensory adaptation. (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)

The present study investigated further the effects of semantic category on speed of matching a target word to words in a memory set. (Author)

Two experiments were conducted using the procedure reported by Wickens in 1972 for the study of relevant encoding dimensions in short-term memory. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate interference in pigeon short-term memory using an intertrial interference paradigm. (Author)

A new theory for discrete motor learning was proposed that seemed capable of explaining a number of closed-loop postulations. (Editor/RK)

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)

Three experiments studied the effect of amount and type of concurrent memory load on the rate of readout from iconic memory. (Editor)

Visual memory in monkeys was examined under four different conditions, each with a separate group. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to assess whether or not categorized words are of similar benefit to short-term storage (STS). Specifically, can the use of categorized words be demonstrated to alleviate the limited rehearsal capacity of STS? (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)
