Donaldson, Wayne; Bass, Michael – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Describes three experiments conducted to examine the superior retention of related word pairs when the second word in the pair required active construction by the subject. The results confirm the importance of subjects' checking solution adequacy and of associative relationships in recall. (PMJ)

Corgiat, Mark D.; And Others – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1989
Evaluated contributions of age, presentation modality, task demand, and content structure to prose recall variation among adults. Tested 60 young and 60 older adults for recall of ideas in 641-word prose passage. Found recall for total number of idea units was significantly lower for older participants and for auditory presentation across both age…

Watkins, Michael J.; Todres, Amy K. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments investigating the relationship of the suffix effect and echoic memory. Shows that echoic memory persists for at least 20 seconds. Illustrates that echoic memory can be used to establish a more effective nonechoic memory. Shows that recency recall is higher to auditory than to visual items. (PMJ)

Baddeley, A. D.; Bekerian, D. A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
An investigation of a saturation advertising campaign to acquaint the public with changes in radio wavelengths showed that repeated presentation of material does not lead to learning unless appropriate encoding occurs. Such encoding will occur when subjects are allowed to use previously acquired learning strategies. (PMJ)

Corsale, Kathleen – 1974
The purpose of this study was to determine whether children as young as second-graders could encode categorically within an abstract evaluative dimension. The study uses mode of stimulus presentation (auditory or visual) as an independent variable. The subjects were 40 white middle class children from grades 2, 4, and 6, who were randomly assigned…
