Experiment was concerned with the validity of the assumptions involved in the proposal of some minor modifications in the frequency theory of verbal-discrimination learning. (Author/CB)

Research was designed to extend the encoding variability hypothesis to highly integrated verbal units and to explore the relationship between stimulus and response meaningfulness in an A-C transfer paradigm. (Authors)

Purpose of the study was to examine transfer in part-whole learning when both adjectives and nouns are used so as to determine if the phenomenon observed with nouns can be found with another part of speech. (Authors/DS)

It is suggested by this study that increases in moral judgment scores with age are related to increased generality of cognitive functioning. (Editor/CB)

Purpose of this study was to determine whether some major aspects of children's role-playing behavior can be coded reliably and whether role-playing behavior is related to role-problem characteristics and individual variables. (Authors)

Results indicated that it is possible to distinguish children on predispositions such as social and task orientation and self-assurance sufficiently well to predict their behavior in certain specific situations. (Authors)

The finding of major significance in this study concerns the effect of stimulant drug medication on the relationship between heart rate deceleration and reaction time with the clinic children. (Authors)

It is suggested on the basis of these findings and others that the linear effect in previous studies is due primarily to a particular instructional set and is irrelevant to the study of uniquely semantic processes. (Author/CB)

Results indicated that the anxiety treatment in this study was not significantly related to level of intelligence; a significant Sex by Anxiety interaction for both simple and complex problem solving was indicated. (Authors/CB)

Findings suggest that humor facilitates the recall of incidental but not intentional learning. (MB)

Results showed that recall of verbal material hardly was affected by the eye-movement task but was much affected by backward counting, while nonverbal material was recalled with the same efficiency irrespective of type of distractor, suggesting different types of storage for the two types of material.

Basic experimental design tested to see whether semantic shifts and variation of intertrial interval influences performance in short-term recognition memory in a manner similar to their influence in short-term recall. (Authors)

Memory span of symbol strings decreased as string length or number of different symbols composing the strings increased. Recall of digit strings was a function of string length only. (Author)

This experiment has established that for first-grade children absolute responding on a test of transfer of training is more difficult than relational. (Author)
