This article presents an interview with David Rindskopf, a Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology and Psychology at the City University of New York Graduate Center, where he has taught since 1979. His research and teaching are in the area of applied statistics, measurement, and research design. He is a fellow of the American Statistical…

The primary purpose of this study is to report the functional relation between recognition memory and degree of semantic contextual change and secondarily, to point out that the obtained relation can be described in terms of alternative theoretical approaches. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to establish a theoretical framework for Stevens' empirically derived power law. Three models were proposed to explain the power law. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to directly assess the strength and stability of acoustically mediated word associations under conditions which should maximize their occurrence. (Author)

Nonspeech stimuli were varied along two dimensions--intensity and rise time. In a series of speeded classification tasks, subjects were asked to identify the stimuli in terms of one of these dimensions. (Editor)

As part of a search for a unified theory of attention, observers detected letters in streams of digits under conditions of divided or selective attention for a period of 10 hours. The practice effects on the detectability of targets and on the response criteria used by observers were evaluated. (Editor/RK)

Examines an alternation effect and a repetition effect in a two-choice reaction time task. Two further experiments examine the roles of subjective expectancy and an automatic facilitation in determining these effects. (Editor/RK)

Two new experimental operations were used to distinguish between auditory and phonetic levels of processing in speech perception: the first based on reaction time data in speeded classification tasks with synthetic speech stimuli, and the second based on average evoked potentials recorded concurrently in the same tasks. (Editor)

The purpose of the present experiment was to examine the effects of input variation upon recall performance in relation to two specific issues derived from the perceptual regrouping hypothesis. (Author)

This study provides experimental evidence that instructional set can influence access to altered states of consciousness. Fifteen male subjects were randomly assigned to three groups, each of which received the same autogenic biofeedback training in hand temperature control, but each group received a different attitudinal set. (Editor)

This study attempts to discriminate between 2 theories about strategies Ss use when trying to remember a linear ordering. (Editor)

If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

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

This research used tasks analogous to Delayed Matching-to-Sample tasks to study pigeons' Short Term Memory for responses and reinforcers, as well as for more conventional stimuli. The broad question is whether stimulus, response, and reinforcer memories are all influenced in the same way by the same independent variables. (Author/RK)

Investigates memory capacity in rats for information about spatial location and provides information about some of the characteristics of the storage process used in this memory. (Author/RK)
