Study was designed to investigate the effects of color cues and of subject-employed strategies in the development of selective attention in a short-term memory task. (Authors)

The purpose of the present paper was to examine and describe the early state of the art of the development of theories of retrieval, one of the important objectives of research on memory. (Author/RK)

Deficits in position memory particularly seemed to be the major distinguishing variable between normals and retardates in the present study. (Authors)

The Ranschburg phenomenon is a process of memory interference caused by confounding of similar elements in discretely learned materials. (RS)

Using recognition rather than recall test procedures gives results which are inconsistent with the main features of the visual trace model for short-term memory. (Author)

An experiment is described on the free-recall learning of a list of high-frequency words. The results are consistent with the view that the number of mnemonic units' or chunks' recalled remains constant over trials and over a retention interval of one week. (Authors)

Study was conducted with the purpose of analyzing individual differences in the use of organizing strategies and considering their relationship to performance involving short-term memory. (Author/CB)

In programed instruction, required-response chunks not physical length of frames determines the difficulty level of instruction. A further analysis revealed that number of words per chunk did not affect performance. (Editor)

Results suggest that Ss store some of the auditory and visual information in modality-dependent memory systems and that storage order determines recall accuracy. (Author)

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)
