Discusses experiments testing the adequacy of the common attribute-value representation for knowledge about concepts. (AM)

Second and sixth grade children's relative sensitivity to acoustic, semantic, and physical dimensions was inferred from the amount of release from proactive interference obtained for shifts along each dimension. (ED)

The theme of this paper is that learning and memory are generative processes, involving the transfer of previous learning, aptitudes, ways of processing information, and affective states. (Author)

This paper describes some of the more spectacular range effects reported in the literature. (Author)

New schemata are created by modifying models of existing schemata, i.e., learning by analogy. This means that a new situation will be interpreted in accordance with the schema most similar to it in the learner's repertoire. If the…

This paper describes a series of studies investigating the effects of memory reactivation in early infancy. Twelve-week-old infants were taught a footkick response by having one leg tied to an overhead crib mobile so that each footkick produced movement of the mobile (reinforcer). Retention of the footkick response was assessed after 6, 8, and 14…

The ability of language impaired children to remember and retell two stories within their lexical and syntactic grasp was investigated with 12 language handicapped and 12 normal children (7 to 9 years old). An audiotape of the child's retelling of the stories was analyzed in terms of accurate recall, plausible information added during recall,…

In an investigation into the process of retrieval from very long term memory, four subjects who had been out of high school from 4 to 19 years were asked to think aloud while attempting to recall the names of their high school classmates. The retrievals were found to be characterized by overshoot, systematic hypothesizing, fabrications, the…
