Confirms studies which have shown that rehearsal enhances recall if appropriate cues are related to the materials. (RB)

Free recall of an array of pictures followed by sequential location recall was observed in children ages 4 to 12. Presentation conditions included arrays of pictures differing in salience of categories versus noncategorical array, and two task conditions, overt labeling versus pointing. Grouping effects on memory were systematically related to…

This study reports the results of a factor analysis that prepared the way for the utilization of MSCA, which is designed to measure the developmental level of children aged 2 1/2 to 8 1/2 in a variety of areas. (Author/RK)

Article is concerned with reporting an experiment which adds to the corpus of information respecting dual codes in short-term memory. (Author/GB)

Two experiments are an attempt to provide a description of three commonly observed phenomena of recognition behavior for alphabet characters in terms of the mathematics of correlation. (Author/KM)

Age differences in two groups (20-23 years, and 49-65 years) were investigated for the speed of retrieval in both primary and secondary memories. Discussion centered on the role that the older subjects slowed retrieval searches play in their more general learning-memory deficit. (DP)

This paper is concerned with word-recognition processes when the recognition test includes associates of the to-be-remembered words presented earlier. (Author)

It is concluded that stimulus grouping can aid short-term memory span only when the method of stimulus grouping is compatible with the method of response grouping. (Author/CB)

Study considered whether distinctive orthography would lead to differential recognition performance when high- and low-distinctiveness words served as both study and distracter items. (Author)

This experiment was an attempt to extend recent findings by examining how contextual changes might produce variations in the correct recognition of verbal units' previously presented in a compound display. (Authors/CB)

This study is consistent with a model of semantic memory that assumes that the memory store is organized primarily into noun categories, and that the process of retrieving information from this store consists of entering the appropriate category as a first step. (Authors)

The accuracy of memory for the position of a spot in a plain visual field was measured. The variables manipulated were: duration of presentation; length of retention period; presence or absence of distracting activity. (Author)
