Four experiments examined the effects of various instructions on the rate of false recognitions of synonyms, antonyms, nonsemantic associates, and homonyms. (Editor)

A learning-to-learn approach was taken in the present study in an attempt to draw the subjects' attention to the associative relations among items and to examine whether the presentation of four functionally equivalent interitem lists would result in the subjects' using a higher cognitive strategy.

Although Tzeng (1973) and Bjork and Whitten (1974) have obtained positive recency effects in free recall using a procedure designed to eliminate any component of short-term storage, their procedures may not have truly cleared short-term storage. This experiment attempts to find whether positive recency would be obtained in a situation without any…

The present research involved the free-recall transfer paradigm where some subjects have had prior experience with a part of the test list while others have not. (Author)

This experiment tested the hypothesis that attenuation of attention would be a direct function of lag and whether certain manipulations within the context of a self-paced study procedure would allow for an interpretation of the superior recall of distributed versus massed items by way of that hypothesis. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present experiment was to investigate more thoroughly the relative importance of consistencies of input as compared with output order in determining organization in the multitrial free recall of lists of maximally unrelated words. (Author)

Performance on the last few items of a 12-word list was impaired when a spoken "Recall" was used as the cue for recall, relative to performance with a nonverbal cue. This suffix effect occured with four types of recall instructions after auditory presentation, including instructions for conventional serial and after free recall. (Editor)

Of all the studies examining recognition of semantically related words, none has systematically varied lag to test the straightforward prediction of a monotonic decrease in false alarms to new words semantically related to prior words. The present experiment, using semantic associates, tested this prediction. (Author)

The present experiments, conducted on two different populations of bilinguals, were designed to differentiate between two positions. Specifically, a demonstration of negative transfer could be interpreted as support for some form of interdependence of storage. (Author/RK)

Tests were made of the effects of conceptual associations among words, a type of associative relationship not previously manipulated, on verbal discrimination learning. (Editor)

Position effects in multiple-trial free recall were examined for subjects who learned three successive lists under one of two instructional conditions. (Editor)

This paper is concerned with word-recognition processes when the recognition test includes associates of the to-be-remembered words presented earlier. (Author)
