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)

Uses new approaches to differentiate three types of models describing intuitive numerical prediction. (Author)

The primary purpose of this article is to describe, justify, and elaborate a preliminary quantitative model for a subset of the letter-identification process. (Author)

This investigation examined the effects of a variety of cue criterion function forms and attempted to evaluate the contribution of the factors just named, i.e., the response consistency of subjects, detection of task linearity, and the detection of task nonlinearity, to observed differences in learning. (Author/RK)

This paper describes and tests a two-stage model for a "semantic congruity effect" in comparative judgments. (Editor)

A model was proposed as an alternative to current models for categorical perception, which refers to the apparent responding to stimuli only in absolute terms. The model proposed that a single (common) factor causes both a peak in the discrimination function and a categorical dichotomy and thus the correlation between the two. (Editor/RK)

Argues for the importance of combining the concerns of the functionalist (Dewey, 1910) approach to memory with investigations of the effects of context and task demands. Two experiments are reported that demonstrate interactions between task demands and the more traditional functionalist variables. Particularly demonstrates that the effects of…

The present experiments test two plausible interpretations of the effect of frequency on relative recency judgments. (Editor)
