Two experiments investigated the effect of homograph stimuli in paired-associate transfer paradigms. (Editor)

This study examined the effect of both temporal and nontemporal cues on frequency judgments of items presented in one or both of two successive word lists. (Author)

The main hypothesis of this article was that differences in the placement of rehearsals in word list sequences affected the quality of information retained in memory in a predictable manner. (Author/RK)

One of the objectives of the present study was to examine the role of conceptual structure in learning when position in the series and stimulus number were not confounded. (Author/RK)

The aim of the present study was partly to see whether the trade-off between item and attribute memory was a reliable phenomenon and partly to examine the strategies used by subjects in this task. (Author/RK)

The role of instructions about list overlap was investigated in typical part-whole free-recall transfer and in partially overlapping lists where only half of List 1 was included in List 2. (Editor)

Three experiments were conducted to explore the conditions under which the presence of strong (repeated) items in a free recall list results in the reduced recall of weak (once-presented) items. (Editor)

Two experiments examined factors underlying false alarms on recognition tests when the elements of the test items were presented alone for study at different points in time, and when the elements were parts of different 2-element units during study. (Editor)

Two experiments on how symmetrical difficulty factors (word familiarity and concreteness) affect stages of associative learning are reported. Learning parameters reacted in a qualitatively similar manner to stimulus and response manipulations. Paired associate items are represented in memory as unitary traces rather than as separate stimulus and…

Two experiments explored the effects of three processing tasks on cued recall of related and unrelated word pairs. (Editor)

The two experiments reported here examined the effects on judgments of frequency of three independent variables: presentation frequency, spacing of repetitions, and orienting task. (Author)

The present research examines the encoding-variability theory and a blend of the voluntary-attention and habituation theories referred to herein as effort theory. (Author)

Recently, Nilsson (1975) challenged Watkins's conclusion that the modality effect is a post-categorical phenomenon. In this brief reply the authors argued that Nilsson's findings are not only consistent with the postcategorical interpretation but also inconsistent with the precategorical interpretation. (Author/RK)

An experiment examined the mnemonic effects of initial testing with semantic, orthographic, temporal, and recognition cues. Results were interpreted within a levels-of-processing framework in which the nature of the information used in retrieval, rather than the speed or difficulty of retrieval determines subsequent accessibility. (Editor/RK)

College students learned English vocabulary words using a keyword or no-strategy control technique. The keyword technique did not enhance recall of the actual vocabulary word when the definition was given unless the vocabulary word per se was integrated in memory before presentation of vocabulary word-definition pairings.
