Intentional Forgetting of Tones in a Choice Recognition-Time Task
Cruse, Donna; Jones, Richard A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Attempts to determine whether intentional forgetting instructions influence memory when the opportunity for rehearsal is restricted and whether the intentional forgetting phenomenon could be accounted for by a selective-search hypothesis which states that memory improvement is due to a smaller search set in the cued condition relative to the…

False Recognition of Synonyms of Right and Wrong Items in Multiple-Item Recognition Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kausler, Donald H.; And Others – American Journal of Psychology, 1977
The present study replicated the procedure of Kausler et al. (1975) as a means of testing further the hypothesis that the processing of wrong items differs qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, from the processing of right items. (Author)

Selective Encoding Processes in Recognition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wright, Jon; And Others – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
These experiments attempts to confirm the selective encoding processes thought to underlie orienting tasks and to shed some light on the empirical discrepancy as to whether semantic encoding inhibits or facilitates recognition performance in general, and the identification of distractor items in particular.

The Role of Eyes and Mouth in the Memory of a Face
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McKelvie, Stuart J. – American Journal of Psychology, 1976
Investigates the relative importance that the eyes and mouth play in the representation in memory of a human face. Systematically applies two kinds of transformation--masking the eyes or the mouths on photographs of faces--and observes the effects on recognition. (Author/RK)

Recoding of Semantic and Acoustic Information in Short-Term Memory
Raser, Glen A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1972
Study conducted while the author was the recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Postdoctoral Fellowship and supported, in part, by an Office of Education Research Grant. (VM)

Recognition Memory for Single Tones With and Without Context
Dewar, Kathryn M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Sequences of seven tones were presented, and recognition memory for individual tones of each sequence was tested under varying degrees of context. (Editor)

Some of the Thousand Words a Picture Is Worth
Mandler, Jean M.; Johnson, Nancy S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
The effects of real-world schemata on recognition of complex pictures were studied. Two kinds of pictures were used: pictures of objects forming real-world scenes and unorganized collections of the same objects. (Editor)

Recognition: Frequency or Organization?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Raye, Carol L. – American Journal of Psychology, 1976
Subjects studied three lists of words using a high- or low-organization mnemonic strategy, so that the two groups might differ in organizational (list) information but acquire about equal frequency (occurrence) information. It was predicted that organizational information would be used in recognition decisions. (Editor/RK)
