Argues that existing evidence does not discredit the notion that hypermnesia (increased recall across repeated testing) is related to level of recall. (EKN)

Discusses three experiments which provide evidence for the conclusions that hypermnesia (increased recall with repeated testing) does not depend on the encoding of material in an imaginal format but is related to the level of recall across conditions within an experiment. (EKN)

Presents two experiments designed to evaluate how subjects represent and process logical quantifiers in sentences considering verbal string, abstract propositional and abstract analog as models for quantifier memory. Results show that quantifier memory depends on propositional and verbal string information but not analog. (Author/BK)

Describes study which tested a dual coding approach to bilingual memory using tasks that permit comparison of the effects of bilingual encoding with verbal-nonverbal dual encoding items. Results provide strong support for a version of the independent or separate stories view of bilingual memory. (Author/BK)

Reviews empirical evidence which suggests that level of recall does not determine hypermnesia (increased recall with repeated testing). Discusses the problem of deciding between a levels-of-processing and an imagery hypothesis of hypermnesia. (EKN)

Subjects memorized subject-verb-object propositions and then judged whether verb-object probes appeared in the same proposition. Reaction times and error rates were observed. Data indicate that activation spreads from probe concepts in parallel through the propositional network. A guessing model for errors was constructed. (CHK)

Discusses the theory that the effect of repetition is greater when memory for an earlier presentation of the repeated item is less accessible. Describes experiments revealing interactions between the spacing of repetitions and the similarity of repetitions, the type of intervening material and cue effectiveness. (EKN)

Subjects rated how certain they were that each of 60 statements was true or false. Embedded in the list was a set of statements that were either repeated across several sessions or were not repeated. Frequency of occurrence is apparently a criterion used to establish referential validity of plausible statements. (CHK)

Two experiments are reported to distinguish between the representation of sentences in immediate versus longer-term memory. It is indicated that the immediate representation is a verbatim image of the sentence but at delays there are both verbatim images and propositional representations. (Author/RM)

Experiments are described in which students listened to messages describing the placements of numbers in imaginable matrices. Recall was tested by having students write in the correct cells of a blank matrix. Results appear consistent with a modified level of processing approach. (Author/RM)

Reports an experiment with tasks involving memory search for a given probe word with respect to a set of semantic category labels for subjects in a word comparison task and a set of semantic category labels for subjects in the categorization task. The memory search process is fundamentally different in categorization and comparison tasks. (CLK)

The priority effect being studied is higher first-list than second-list recall induced by the absence of an immediate test on the first list. The hypothesis that this effect is caused by the subject's expectation of a later test was tested in this experiment. (Author/RM)

Two experiments investigated the representation of meaning and input language in bilingual memory. (Author/RM)

Discusses the process and role of chunking of items, with further organization of the chunks, in verbal learning. (RM)

This study explored the extent and accuracy of the subject's knowledge of his previous recall performance as a function of response mode and response-produced feedback. In free recall trials, subjects responded orally, in writing, or in both oral and written modes. Accuracy of later recall or responses was measured. (CHK)
