Reports on two experiments conducted to test the hypothesis that the spacing effect in free recall results from greater semantic-feature variability across distributed repetitions than massed repetition. (AM)

This experiment was directed at clarifying the role of verbal associative responses in stimulus recognition. The effects of both distinctive and equivalent verbal labels were assessed. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present experiment was to clarify the nature of retrieving information from Long Term Storage by using forced recall as well as free recall to determine whether further search may lead to retrieval of additional repeated items. (Author/RK)

Reports on research on the effect of various encoding and retrieval conditions on sentence recall. (AM)

This article describes an experiment designed to define the difficulties perceived by learners in verbal learning tasks. (Text is in Spanish.) (CLK)

Authors note that Fehrer and Biederman's two statistical tests were not of equal power and that their conclusion could be a statistical artifact of both the lesser power of the verbal report comparison and the insensitivity of their particular verbal report indicator. (Editor)

Serial anticipation and serial discrimination learning were compared. Trials, errors, total learning times, serial position errors, and retention were examined. (Editor/RK)

The present study tested the generality of the disparity between interpair and intrapair conditions by employing a different form of semantic relatedness, viz., bilingual. (Author)

Study examined the effects of the variables of list length and pronunciation instructions on performance in the verbal discrimination and two category classification tasks and found that the effects of these variables on the two tasks were quite comparable. (Author)

Presents a series of four experiements designed to test the view that the process where a spoken suffix impairs retention of a sequence's last item has a different basis from that producing impairment of the retention of an earlier item. (AM)

In each of four paired-associate studies with verbs and adverbs, more correct responses occurred with the verb-adverb order than with the adverb-verb order. (Editor)

An experiment was performed to test predictions based on a combination of the frequency theory of verbal discrimination learning and Taylor-Spence drive theory, the latter of which postulates a Drive Level x Task Complexity interaction. (Editor)

The aim of the present study was to extend the findings relating to the role of imagery in verbal learning and retrieval to the solution of anagrams. (Author)
