This manual provides guidance and documentation for users of the longitudinal kindergarten-fourth grade (K-4) public-use data file of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011), which includes the first release of the public version of the third-grade data. This manual mainly provides information specific…

Jans, Peters, and De Weerd (2010) examined the studies demonstrating that spatial attention can be split across 2 noncontiguous target locations. They find all these studies to be flawed and conclude that spatial attention only selects a single location at any given time. They do, however, suggest that there could be exceptional circumstances that…

Two experiments found reduced proactive inhibition when subjects were induced to use the nonpreferred components of a compound stimulus during first-list learning. (Editor)

Tulving and others (Tulving, 1974; Tulving & Madigan, 1970) have distinguished two kinds of forgetting of verbal information: trace-dependent forgetting and cue-dependent forgetting. Attempts to determine which type occurs in retroactive inhibition of free-recall learning. (Author/RK)

Article investigated the mechanisms determining proactive inhibition in associative recall. (Author/RK)

The experiments reported below attempted to reduce the availability of the A-C pairs and the dominance of the set of C responses to determine whether this would increase the subjects' access to the A-B pairs. (Author)

Article expressed the view that the buildup and release from proactive inhibition effects in the Brown-Peterson paradigm could be interpreted in terms of the cue-overload principle. (Author/RK)

The present study tested derivations from social learning theory on the disinhibition of aggression through processes that weaken self-deterring consequences to injurious conduct. (Editor)

Of three experiments using a multiple-choice procedure, two were designed to test the hypothesis that unlearning would occur if first-list responses were present as distractors during second-list learning in the A-B, A-C paradigm. (Editor)

The present experiment attempted to separate these three aspects of retention loss (response competition, loss of list differentiation, and loss of response availability) and to assess their effects at both a short and long retention interval. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate interference in pigeon short-term memory using an intertrial interference paradigm. (Author)

Computer models of asymptotic reversal learning in pigeons were evaluated on the basis of the results of five experiments which defined the asymptotic pattern of within-sessions and between-sessions reversal (Experiment 1) and which provided data on the effects of intertrial interval (Experiment 2), amount of training preceding reversal…

The major concern of the present experiment was to determine whether increased covert rehearsal is the sole cause of the release from proactive interference in short-term memory. (Editor)

These experiments attempted to discriminate among theories of the spaced-practice effect and to further explore the phenomenon of proactive interference. (Author/RK)

Four retroactive inhibition (RI) experiments involving the AB, AC (same stimuli, different responses) paradigm were conducted to determine whether learning the original list (OL) and the interpolated list (IL) under different color-context conditions (different) would reduce RI relative to learning both lists under the same context conditions…
