Powell, George D.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
In the present study an attempt was made to investigate the duality of encoding mechanisms via instructional sets that were independent of stimulus characteristics. (Author)

Wicker, Frank W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Attempts to help specify the boundary conditions for use of the recognition-recall method, i.e., recall made conditional upon recognition, and to use this method to evaluate a hypothesis about stimulus-concreteness effects with low-meaningful responses. (Author/RK)

Postman, Leo – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
In a study of paired-associate learning and retention, the mode of presentation (pictures versus words) of the stimuli and the responses was varied factorially. Results pose difficulties for current interpretations of picture-word differences. (Editor/RK)

Tatum, B. Charles – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Tests two theoretical accounts of imagery on paired-associate learning. These two theories, differentiation theory and mediation theory, have been proposed to account for the finding that stimilus imagery/concreteness is an important variable in paired-associate learning. (Author/RK)

Runquist, Willard N. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1978
Nelson, Brooks, and Wheeler (1975) found that interference effects produced by physical similarity among word stimuli in paired associates result from the disruption of contact with the functional stimulus and that interference with associative retrieval is minimal. Data in this research challenge their conclusion on several grounds. (Author/RK)

Monty, Richard A.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979
It was hypothesized that freedom to choose words to be learned, but not the actual choice of words per se, improves performance in paired-associate tasks. Subjects offered an attractive or meaningful choice performed significantly better than subjects offered an unattractive choice, which was equivalent to no choice at all. (Author/CP)

Runquist, Willard N.; Horton, Keith D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Five experiments were conducted comparing performance on paired-associate lists of stimuli that rhymed with lists of stimuli that did not rhyme. Results are discussed in terms of the role of input position cues in aiding discrimination among items. (Editor/RK)
