This study compared more than 3400 MMPIs obtained from pschiatric in-patients in public mental health facilities with mental status and preadmission descriptor ratings to derive empirical correlates of profiles clustered primarily by two-point high codes. (Author)

Describes three experiments which investigated the mechanism underlying memory for movement-extent cues in preselection. Experiment 1 showed that memory for movement extent was better for subjects who were allowed to preselect their own standard. Experiments 2 and 3 examined the role of active movement in preselected and nonpreselected movements.…

Introduction of a new representation for harmonies formed of musical intervals. (author)

This report describes the third year of the national Follow Through Classroom Observation study. The aims of the study were: (1) to assess program implementation at one site for each of 12 sponsors; (2) to search out the relationships between child outcomes and teaching-learning processes; and (3) to estimate which programs incorporate processes…

The major premise of the present study was that rules are not only a useful descriptive concept but may actually be acquired by subjects and govern the selection process. (Author)

Two sets of measurements evaluated performance on typographically inverted text that students had learned to read 13 to 15 months earlier. (Editor)

The compilation of a dictionary for automatic translation from Russian to English is described in detail. Emphasis is placed on: (1) morphological and functional classifications of Russian words, (2) dictionary compilation, (3) the structure of signs, (4) automatic information-processing machines, (5) from the automatic dictionary to the automatic…

Two experiments were conducted to examine the input-order effect reported by Birnbaum (1975); he demonstrated that free recall of two-digit numbers presented in natural ascending order is superior to free recall of the same numbers presented in random order. (Author/RK)

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. (Author/RK)

Attempts to determine whether PI (proactive inhibition) release for taxonomic word categories could be observed for chronic schizophrenics. (Author/RK)

Four free-recall experiments are reported that investigate the relationship between the organization of rehearsal and the organization of recall. (Editor)

Data suggest that verbal coding of visual stimuli has its primary effect on recognition memory via increased rehearsal efficiency in short-term memory. (Authors)

The results of four experiments show that (a) recall superiority over recognition is reversed by the use of unrelated word pairs in the study list, and (b) the reversal of recall superiority leaves intact the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words. (Editor)

An experiment was designed to examine the contribution of phonetic information in the processing of words in tachistoscopic recognition masking. (Editor)

Tulving and Thomson's encoding specificity effect was examined as a function of grammatical class and concreteness of the cues. (Editor)
