Performance changes during the course of single-trial free recall were investigated in five experiments. (Author/RM)

Electroencephalograms were analyzed during performance of verbal and spatial tasks. Complex scalp distributions of theta-, beta-, and, to a lesser extent, alpha-band spectral intensities discriminated between the two members of a pair of tasks, such as writing sentences and Koh's block design.

In two experiments Ss (16 undergraduate students in the first, 14 in the second) listened to a sentence containing a brief tone, then wrote out the sentence and marked the location of the tone. (Author/SBH)

Describes a study using heart rate as an index of autonomic arousal to measure the effects on television viewers of depicting the consequences of violence, violence with no consequence, and nonviolence. Supports the conclusion that specific content manipulations of aggressive stimuli affect levels of arousal. (JMF)

The spans of apprehension (the amount of information processed simultaneously from a brief visual display) of 19 hyperactive and 19 normal boys (6-10 years old) were compared with a forced-choice letter-recognition task developed by W. Estes. (Author/CL)

It is suggested that instructional research in visual literacy focus on the study of the symbolic codes of pictorial media. (Author/STS)

Twenty-five male stutterers and 25 male non-stutterers (5-13 years old) matched by age and speaking task, read or recited under normal and 113-, 226-, 306-, 413-, 520-msec. delayed auditory feedback conditions. (Author)

The principal objective of this study was to evaluate, in 21 severely hearing impaired children (9 to 12 years old), the relative effects of length of stimuli by closed set identification tasks. (Author/SBH)

Results showed that 2- and 3-dimensional forms affected 4- and 8-week-old infant visual behavior differently. (Author/JMB)

Two independent studies were conducted to examine the expectancy behavior of unselected hypnotic, task-motivated, and control-imagination subjects on a slide task requiring response to ambiguous visual information. Results showed that hypnotic subjects consistently demonstrated expectancy behavior, whereas nonhypnotic subjects did not. (Editor/RK)

The relatedness of four elements (tone, white noise, click, and a buzz) making up a recycled pattern was varied to determine the effects of streaming (sounds that break into separate channels) on the ease of correctly ordering the elements. Results suggest the organization of elements into streams by similarity supplants the organization by…

A serial recognition task was used to compare performance of two age groups of learning disabled children (mean chronological ages 8.1 and 10.6) with 2- and 3-dimensional representations of nonlabeled 8-point random shapes. (Author/JMB)

The concept of a scene schema was used to predict the kinds of information that will be remembered from complex pictures over relatively long periods of time. Recognition of eight types of transformations on both organized and unorganized pictures was tested either immediately following presentation or at intervals of a day, a week, or 4 months.…
