Examines the position that the presence of contexts facilitates paired-associate learning through mediation. (Editor/RK)

Recognition memory has previously been shown to be better for unusual words than for common ones. Here it is seen that this word-frequency effect is reversed for extremely rare words. (Editor)

Considers two successive stages of processing dichotic lists of items. (Author/RK)

Three experiments were performed using a recognition probe procedure to test the subject's recognition of the order of two items from a dichotically presented list. (Editor)

Examines the hypothesis that the identification of a briefly presented visual target is impeded by a patterned mask that immediately precedes and/or follows it. (Author/RK)

Measures the phenomenal and the functional durations of visual stimuli differing in informational value. (Author/RK)

A method of analyzing reaction time data in recognition memory is presented. A wide range of phenomena that any theory of recognition memory must explain is discussed. (Editor/RK)

Describes recent progress in research on prenatal behavioral development and in a systematic fashion the various ways in which prenatal experience can affect the development of behavior in the neonate as well as in the embryo and fetus. (Author/RK)

In order to discover whether a manipulation of self-awareness actually activates self-relevant thoughts, two studies were conducted using the Stroop color-word measure of concept activation in memory. (Editor)

A 2 (aid vs. no aid) / 2 (high vs. low resource potential donor) between subjects design tested the effects of aid and donor resources on recipient self-perceptions and subsequent self-help behavior. (Editor)

Examined illness complaint rates in relation to degree of crowding in a federal prison and a county jail. The results suggest that crowding in prisons may induce psychological stress which can be reflected in an increased level of illness complaints. (BT)

Bootstrap analysis, both for nonparametric statistical inference and for describing sample results stability and replicability, has been gaining prominence among quantitative researchers in educational and psychological research. Procedurally, however, it is often quite a challenge for quantitative researchers to implement bootstrap analysis in…

The aim of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of five models of social and organizational by examining the way each model deals with the generation and flow of information concerning change. (Author)

The present report describes an expanded replication of the previous experiments in a nonlaboratory real-play setting unique to the experimental literature on decision processes - a casino in downtown Las Vegas. (Author)
