Twenty-eight profoundly deaf students, aged eight to 11, did not recall spatial order of viewed pictures better than temporal order, were not less competent in probed recognition than 66 age-equivalent hearing students, and made fewer recognitions in temporal-probe than in spatial-probe conditions. Other results were found. (Author/MC)

Presents some of Earl Stevick's ideas on language teaching and learning in the form of an informal interview. (EKN)

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)

Experiment tested one explanation of lag effect in free recall by comparing hypothesized and observed changes in developmental lag functions. Suggests that lag paradigm might be used in assessing developmental differences in processing strategies as a more sensitive, general alternative to overt rehearsal techniques. (Author/HS)

A total of 96 binary statements were administered to 120 children randomly selected from 3 academic levels. The Constituent Comparison Model accounts for the results obtained in this study. (HS)

Presents evidence which, on one hand, disconfirms storage interpretations of the constituent boundary effect and, on the other hand, supports a specific retrieval interpretation. (Author)

A model is developed and evaluated for use in the water jug task in in which subjects are required to find a sequence of moves which produce a specified amount of water in each jug. Results indicate that the model presented correctly predicts the difficulties of different problems and describes the behavior of subjects in the process of problem…

A cued recall procedure was employed to assess the effectiveness of implicit and explicit word prompts for sentence memory in children. The implicit cues were much less effective than the explicit cues for 6-7 year olds while the cue types did not differ for 11-12 year olds. (Author/DEP)

This model proposes 11 distinctive features for hand configurations (DEZ) in the American Sign Language (ASL) and is based on the results of clustering and scaling analyses to confusion matrices for DEZ identifications in visual noise. The predictive validity, rated similarity, recall, and variants of signs of the model are examined. (DEP)

Attempts to apply a chronometric analysis to the tendency of the visual modality to dominate conscious judgments about the presence and location of objects. (Author/RK)

Explores the extent and accuracy of the subject's knowledge concerning his previous memory performance. (Author/RM)

A study was made investigating whether or not the two-person conversational speech behavior (mean duration of utterance, mean reaction time, latency and frequency of interruption) of an individual who is fluent in two languages is the same or different when he is conversing in each of these two languages. (Author/RM)

It was hypothesized that Ss hearing sentences containing reported utterances would confuse these sentences with new sentences containing illocutionary forces or perlocutionary effects consistent with the original sentences. Predicted effects were found in recall for illocutionary forces and in recognition memory for perlocutionary effects.…
