The findings of this study indicated that induced imagery facilitated correct shape reproduction in 8-year-olds better than induced verbalization. (JMB)

The major concern of the present experiment was to determine whether increased covert rehearsal is the sole cause of the release from proactive interference in short-term memory. (Editor)

A hypothesis based on the psycholinguistic derivation of sentences was tested. The task required that sentences temporarily stored in memory be transformed and spoken with delayed auditory feedback. Available from Plenum Publishing Corp., 227 W. 17th St., New York, NY 10011. (Author/RM)

Presentation and criticism of pertinent work, plus the authors' own model. (Text is in French.) (DB)

Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that category recall is related to the quantity conservation of mass, weight, and volume. The predicted association between conservation level and category recall was observed. (JMB)

These experiments attempted to discriminate among theories of the spaced-practice effect and to further explore the phenomenon of proactive interference. (Author/RK)

Some task variables that influence sentence coding, and the ways in which those influences appear to be manifested in performance were outlined. Trends in empirical data were examined as evidence for two classes of coding strategies. (Author/RK)

Subjects learned three different paragraphs and then were tested for their memory after one of the three test intervals. Results showed differential decay functions for recognition and inferential memory. (Editor/RK)

Four experiments are reported which investigate isolation effects in free recall. (RM)

Performance changes during the course of single-trial free recall were investigated in five experiments. (Author/RM)

Investigated the influence of schooling and environment on young children's memory and cognitive skills. Subjects were five- and six-year-old Mestizo and Quechua Indian children living in jungle villages or city slums in Peru. Samples of upper-middle-class children in Lima and poor children in Detroit were also tested. (JMB)

Thirty-two students at the University of Oregon were tested to determine the effects of media on mental imagery and memory. The model incorporates a dual coding hypothesis, and five single and multiple channel treatments were used. (Author/JEG)

It is sometimes possible to recall an item, but not to recognize it. Traditional generation-recognition models view recall as a two-stage process. Such models can account for the recognition failure of recallable items if it is admitted that subjects employ less stringent criteria for editing implicitly retrieved responses in recall than in a…

Two experiments examined the possible role of children's semantic knowledge and their ability to encode it in a cued-recall test. Performance of children aged 7, 10, and 13 years was observed in encoding specificity tasks which used homographs as the to-be-remembered words. (MP)

Extends the investigation of memory assessment to a situation in which memory performance on paired associate tasks varied with the use of different memory strategies. Subjects were 72 first, third, and fifth graders. (Author/MP)
