This article reviews evidence of context effects in recognition, and of failure to recognize recallable words. (Editor)

Two experiments explored the effects of three processing tasks on cued recall of related and unrelated word pairs. (Editor)

In two experiments adult subjects were given a redundant relevant cues concept identification problem. (Editor)

This review attempts to organize a range of neuropsychological and psycho-physiological data on attention. (Editor)

A study tested the hypothesis that the time it takes for information to be analyzed by the reader is sometimes delayed because concurrent comprehension processes are still occupied with analyzing previous information (the variable utilization time hypothesis). During fixations (when the eye rests during reading), visual information, at some point,…

The Fishbein Model is an attitude behavior consistency model which is used in both laboratory and field settings for predicting and understanding attitudinal and normative influences on behavior. This paper examines controversy surrounding the Fishbein Model's normative component in the context of a study of library and information science (LIS)…

Research shows that people comply more frequently to threats when the credibility of the source is high rather than low and that compliance is directly related to punishment magnitude. To examine the impact of an advisor on a target of threats, male college students (N=74) participated in an experiment that included high or low threatner…

Author addressed a central task in the development of an interdisciplinary field of inquiry into manenvironment relations: namely, theory development. He decried the lack of comprehensive theoretical reasoning that has characterized environmental research and suggested directions for expanded conceptual work. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of the current article is to highlight the importance of operant techniques in developmental research. Although many researchers employ operant techniques within their individual fields of study, the pervasive nature of these techniques is not often acknowledged in the general literature. The present article describes the history of…

This article presents a psychological definition of values and defines ways of measuring them. It also reports results of a study dealing with the evolution of educational values of different groups of students, and high school and college levels (N=400), and a comparison between the students' values and those of a group of teachers.

The purpose of the present study was to assess whether or not categorized words are of similar benefit to short-term storage (STS). Specifically, can the use of categorized words be demonstrated to alleviate the limited rehearsal capacity of STS? (Author)

These studies ask whether S remembers a picture better the greater the "depth of processing" he allots to it. Depth of processing pictures of faces was varied according to judgments of sex ("superficial") or judgments of likeableness or honesty of the person pictured. (Editor)

Recent studies suggest that the negative recency effect in final free recall is a function of the type rather than the amount of rehearsal given to terminal list items. From such findings it was predicted that by varying the type of rehearsal, positive recency in final free recall could be obtained. (Editor)

In three experiments Ss were presented with successively free-recall lists to examine proactive interference effects and changes in degree of learning in a short-term retention task. (Editor)

Four studies are reported investigating intralist inhibition effects in a cued-recall or paired-associate study-test procedure. (Editor)
