Lexical Connectivity Effects in Immediate Serial Recall of Words
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mak, Matthew H. C.; Hsiao, Yaling; Nation, Kate – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
In six experiments, we tested whether immediate serial recall is influenced by a word's degree centrality, an index of lexical connectivity. Words of high degree centrality are associated with more words in free association norms than those of low degree centrality. Experiment 1 analyzed secondary data to explore the effect of degree centrality in…

Contextual Associations and Memory for Serial Position
Block, R. A.; Summers, J. J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Purpose of experiment was to provide evidence for the role of contextual associations in memory for serial position because position judgments are affected by factors other than those correlated by time. (DS)

Memory for Serial Position
Saufley, William H., Jr. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Two experiments tested what happens to learning performance as serial location of a word list is removed as a consistent source of associations across trials. Serial recall produced a stable level of performance and little learning. Serial recall learning may require certain memory factors in combination. (CHK)

Network Strength Theory of Storage and Retrieval Dynamics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wickelgren, Wayne A. – Psychological Review, 1976
The notion of strength is defined in several alternative ways for chains of associations connected in series and in parallel. Network strength theory is extended to handle retrieval dynamics for a network of associations, in a manner that permits various degrees of serial versus parallel manner that permits various degrees of serial versus…

Underwood, Benton J.; And Others – 1977
This study examined the interrelationships among a number of episodic memory tasks and among various attributes of memory. A sample of 200 college students was tested for ten sessions; 28 different measures of episodic memory were obtained. In addition, five measures of semantic memory were available. Results indicated that episodic and semantic…

Research on Learning from Pictures: A Review and Bibliography.
Levie, W. Howard, Ed. – Viewpoints, 1973
Centrally concerned with research which investigated how people learn from pictures, this issue of "Viewpoints" provides a series of review articles and a bibliography. The first article reviews recent research using adult subjects in commonly used psychological research paradigms--recognition memory, recall associate learning--and introduces…

Implications of Research on Internal Processing Operations in Learning and Memory for Serial Task Training.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Rigney, Joseph W. – 1971
The literature on learning research pertaining to the internal processing operations of the learner was reviewed. The current thinking of learning theorists regarding the nature and importance of these processes in learning and retention is described, and their significance for instructional technology is examined. Verbalization, imagery, and…
