The purpose of the two experiments was to specifically test for spatial order memory differences as a function of reader ability. (Author)

The relationship among the Piagetian concepts of identity, seriation, and transitivity was explored with preschool subjects. (JMB)

This study found that 3-year-olds instructed to remember a particular location in a memory task engaged in deliberate behaviors which were positively related to later recall. This was not true for 3-year-olds instructed only to wait or for 2-year-olds in either instructional condition. (JMB)

The experiments presented in this study tried to validate and clarify the notion of distinctiveness and the assumptions on which it is based, particularly as it relates to prediction of the serial-position effect. (Author/RK)

The present experiment tested whether the Total Time Hypothesis would remain valid when either response availability or S interest was low. (Author/RK)

The present experiment was done to investigate the abilities of an effective isolation dimension (size) in a Short Term Memory release-of-proactive inhibition design. (Author/RK)

Article evaluated research studies completed by Baddeley-Ecob concerning the relationship between reaction time models and recognition memory. (Author/RK)

The present study attempted to further analyze the interaction of verbal and image coding processes in memory for pictures and words. (Author)

The paper reviews research dealing with the process of reflective abstraction, analysis and modification of one's own behavior, in learning disabled students. A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that children with a working memory of three pieces of information, who are inclined to employ self-terminating processing strategies because of…

The study analyzed short-and long-term memory processes in learning disabled (LD) children and compared them with normally achieving peers. Research on memory processes in LD children is reviewed and methodological limitations noted. Thirty-six normal and 36 LD Ss (8-11 years old) were asked to remember consonant trigams using one of three…

The paper reports on two experiments in Braille learning which compared blind and sighted subjects on the immediate recall of haptically-examined Braille symbols. In the first study, sighted subjects (N=64) haptically examined each of a set of Braille symbols with their preferred or nonpreferred hand and immediately recalled the symbol by drawing…

A review of the literature on attribution theory suggests that attributional templates may be similar to balanced structures, in that they are cognitive constructs that have an organizing influence on thought processes and exert a similar organizational influence on the memory for social information. Therefore, the three basic attributional…

The Bransfrod and Franks procedure of 1971 for studying the abstraction of linguistic ideas was employed in a sentence memory task but with a recall test substituted for the usual recognition test. (Editor)

Recognition memory, defined by novelty preferences, was found to vary over 4 discrimination tasks as a function of length of familiarization for 5-6-month-old infants. (ST)
