Extends Woy and Efran's research (Behav. Res. Ther., 10, 43-49.) by investigating the influence of expectancy set for therapy outcome on SD (systematic desensitization) effectiveness. (Author/RK)

The list-scanning experiments first described and studied by Sternberg have raised some important and interesting questions about memory function and the close and subtle relationship between memory and attention. This paper presents an attempt to explain these findings. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the d' measure of detection theory can be adapted to index the sensitivity of some subject group to the signal properties of social situations that convey information about reinforcement contingencies. (Author)

The present research deals with the PRP effect as it occurs in a task involving response uncertainty that must be resolved on the basis of a decoding of each signal. (Author)

The present study was designed to test the effect of instructions to forget prior motor learning and the results were relevant to the understanding of short-term motor memory (STMM) proactive interference (PI). (Author/RK)

The present research involved the free-recall transfer paradigm where some subjects have had prior experience with a part of the test list while others have not. (Author)

We stand by our original conclusion that for a developmental analysis, upright orientation should not be inferred from judged upside down orientation with a binary vertical method.

The present study provided an opportunity to assess various theoretical viewpoints on recall through the study of multiple-associate learning using 4-word lists or tetrads. (Author/RK)

Uses a study of children's understanding of relational terms in conservation tasks to illustrate negligent or inaccurate reading of research reports. (ST)

In this paper a rapid and reliable method is found for estimating the value of the Bivariate Normal Correlation Coefficient, p, given values of the joint probability and the normal deviates, h and k, or the related areas. (Editor)

Two studies were undertaken to determine systematically how preventive behaviors associated with health, accidents, property loss, and financial loss are interrelated.
