Tulving and Thomas have concluded that nonrecognizable words are recallable and therefore that generation-recognition theory is denied. The primary purpose of this article is to argue that they have not demonstrated recognition failure of recallable words. (Author/RK)

This study investigated the contributions of fundamental frequency, formant spacing, and glottal waveform to talker identification. The first two experiments focused on the effect of glottal waveform in the perception of talker identity. Subjects in the first experiment, 30 undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory psychology course,…

Article investigated painting styles and a test devised to explore sensitivity to them. (Author/RK)

Presents four studies of concept identification behavior in first graders and kindergarten children under the blocking paradigm as implemented within a multidimensional discrimination task. While blocking was observed in children's learning, the data indicate the need for more sensitive and individualized measures of stimulus control in future…

This study of the understanding of the words "and" and "or" in children, ages 2-7 1/2, indicates that "and" is used to express enumeration, and "or" to express alternatives, and that most children's responses are correct at age 4 and beyond. Differences between the linguistic and logical meaning of connection are discussed. (Author/LLK)

Experiments are reported in which the effect of providing cueing systems on the amount learned by readers was investigated. (Author)

The effect of different simulator motion conditions on pilot performance was investigated, and the cuing function of simulator motion was explored. Subjects were required to perform a simulated air-to-air gunnery task under four conditions of motion. While treatment effects did not meet the predetermined level of statistical significance,…

The purpose of Experiment I was to investigate the context effect of letter perception for nonword material. The significance of finding a context effect for nonwords would be that the basis of the effect would have to be a product of a person's knowledge of the phonological or orthographic structure of the language rather than attributable to a…

To examine the relationship between words that pinpoint or help to define other words, an experiment was designed which reversed the procedure used in collecting the Michigan Restricted Associated Norms. The Michigan procedure used stimulus words to elicit responses. These responses were used as clue words to determine their power to stimulate the…

Investigated preschool and third grade children's metamnemonic knowledge that in order to serve as an efficient retrieval cue of the location of a hidden object, an external marker sign must differentiate it from other locations. (JMB)

Slides showing realistic dyadic encounters in naturalistic settings, using different combinations of behavioral and environmental cues, were the stimuli. Sixty students rated their perception of these encounters on six scales, and the relative importance of environmental cues in social perception is discussed. (Editor/RK)
