In this article it is argued that reading is faster than naming because printed words are more compatible with verbal responses than are objects. (Editor)

This study was designed to show that preferences for musical stimuli varying in complexity are in part determined by the range of complexity to which the subject adapts. (Author)

In two experiments the probabilistic properties of an internal (skill) task were simulated in an external (chance) task. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to establish a theoretical framework for Stevens' empirically derived power law. Three models were proposed to explain the power law. (Editor)

Four experiments assessed the influence of a pretraining session on the recognition of English words. (Editor)

Ambiguous pictures that could be seen as faces or as meaningless patterns were the stimuli in two recognition-memory experiments. Recognition was far more accurate when the stimuli were seen as faces. (Editor)

In Studies One and Two, nonhandicapped Ss watched two videotapes of paraplegics in wheelchairs being interviewed. Each S then chose the handicapped…
