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

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)

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)

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)

Responses from 1,613 former servicemen with Spanish surnames were examined to evaluate Spanish surname recognition as a means of identifying persons of Latin American birth or ancestry. Questionnaires were mailed to 5,019 servicemen who had: (1) been inductees or enlistees in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps; (2) left active duty in the first 6…

The results of various computerized coding techniques used to identify persons of Spanish derivation were compared to questionnaire responses in which people identified themselves as Spanish. The coding techniques classified names as Spanish and non-Spanish using the following: census surnames; Morton surnames; "Broad" Spanish surnames; "Narrow"…
