Discusses the conflicting evidence and points of view presented by scientists involved in research on the nature of memory. The research of one group supports a chemical basis for memory, while the other group presents evidence supporting an electro-physiological basis. (JR)

The present experiment was designed to distinquish between verbal and nonverbal encoding of sequentially presented spatial information. (Author)

This study examined the relationship between arousal and short- versus long-term memory of auditorally presented continuous information as would be experienced in a typical classroom lecture environment. (Author/RK)

The present study was designed to test the implication of the rehearsal deficit hypothesis of Brown (1972) and Morin et al. (1970). In it retarded adolescents were given rehearsal training on a keeping-track task. (Author/RK)

Nine-year-old students were given one presentation of a list of nouns and then performed both recall and recognition tasks. Visual presentation facilitated recall. (ST)

The present study examined current hypotheses concerning information transfer from short-term memory (STM) to long-term memory (LTM) using a Peterson STM task with word triplets presented over retention intervals of 0, 3, 6, 9, and 18 sec. (Editor)

It was found in a retention test that progressive elaboration was superior to single-response elaboration, as in the Bower and Reitman (1972) study; the present study was an extension of that Bower and Reitman study. (Author/RK)

The present studies explored the effects of several variables upon subjects' ability to combine and organize information from different sentences as well as their ability to retain that information. (Author/RK)

The purpose of the present experiment was to examine questions on information specification raised by P. R. Laughlin. Ss were asked to solve one attribute-identification problem, using the selection paradigm. (Author/RK)

This study investigates the influence on recognition memory of the perceptual organization of the learning material both at the time it is studied and when it is tested. (Author)

The effects of list-item cuing under conditions of extensive free-recall learning were examined within a retroactive inhibition paradigm. (Editor)

This study is an investigation into the possibility of a relationship between college students' memories of their parents and their current usage or nonusage of illegal drugs. (Author)

Information processing capabilities of normal and retarded individuals were studied within the context of a modified Steinberg recognition memory task. Normal and retarded individuals spent the same amount of time learning information, but normal subjects spent less time retrieving the information. (ST)
