Three experiments are reported that were designed to delineate the properties of the stimulus encoding stage in reaction time tasks of varying stimulus-response compatibility. (Editor)

This paper is concerned with the role of redundancy in two important communication settings. Experiments 1 and 2 explored the effects of redundancy in a decoding task, where the respondent's goal is to identify the referent implied by a pair of descriptive messages. Experiment 3 assessed the extent to which people choose redundant messages when…

Two different experimental procedures were used to examine (a) information-processing differences between two groups of subjects (Cs versus Vs) identified by the form of their conditioned eyeblinks; (b) information-processing differences between the right and left cerebral hemispheres; and (c) parallels between hypothesized C-V differences and…

Proposes that a levels-of-processing analysis of encoding implies that (a) other things being equal, (e.g., task requirements), deeper information should be equally derivable from pictures and words; but (b) when picture-word differences do occur, they are encoding phenomena which result because task requirements generally favor more discriminable…

A visual-spatial approach to the study of attention dysfunction was presented. The hypotheses of broadened and narrowed attention were tested by comparing peripheral visual discrimination of acute schizophrenic, chronic schizophrenic, and normal subjects within two regions of the functional visual field.

This research forms part of a long-term program of work on the general relationship between intrapersonal stress and the development of effective cognitive processes. (Author/RK)

This article reported the development of a method aimed at exploring the relations among covert muscle behavior, mental imagery, and the perception of external stimulation. (Author/RK)

In the present study, an attempt was made to determine whether temporal patterning and speach processes comparable to those obtained with categorized materials are involved in the recall of higher order units formed intraexperimentally. (Author)

This research investigated the extent to which three suggested divided- attention effects--time delay, noise addition, and response bias change, as assessed by three cross-over-model parameters--were manifest when a manual, compensatory tracking task was performed concurrently with two secondary tasks. (Author/RK)

In this study retrospective verbal reports were collected in order to study cognitive processes activated when solving simple additions. The research was devoted to a revision and validation of the earlier presented process model (Svenson 1975) by using retrospective verbal reports as a complement to the response latencies analyzed earlier.…
