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)

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.

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)

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)

This research has three purposes: 1) to determine whether subjects instructed to study silently in a free-recall experiment engage in associative encoding, 2) to test the validity of associative ability as an individual difference variable, 3) to test for an interaction between presentation rate and associative reaction time. (Editor/RK)

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)

This series of experiments was designed to evaluate a model of picture and word encoding. The primary assumptions are that both sensory and semantic codes can be activated for both pictures and words but the relative order of access to phonemic information is different for the two types of representation. (Editor/RK)

Proposes that a levels-of-processing analysis of encoding implies that (a) other things being equal, (e.g., task requirements), deeper information should be equally derivable from pictures and words; but (b) when picture-word differences do occur, they are encoding phenomena which result because task requirements generally favor more discriminable…

In a study of the effects of instructions on reaction times to judgments of the truth or falsity of sentences, 40 undergraduates were provided computer-assisted instruction by either the "true" or "conversion" model and required to judge 64 sentences of all possible combinations of true or false, affirmative or negative, and expletive or…

These experiments consider similarities and differences between classifications of pictorial and verbal stimuli in order to investigate whether the kinds of information used differ depending on the stimulus class. Three hypotheses regarding the information used in picture and word classification were evaluated. (Author/RK)
