Eleven visually impaired and 11 sighted college students were equally effective in using the Kinesthetic system to retain distance and location cues, but visually impaired Ss were significantly more variable in movement reproduction than sighted Ss. (CL)

This article explores the kinds of cues young children use as a basis for extending early works in an effort to label novel referent objects. Proposals that intend to explain how first words are extended and used to refer to objects or events for which no words explicitly exist are discussed. (DF)

Results of a study with 10 moderately retarded adolescents on the salience of transverse compound stimuli (combinations of positive and negative cues) were interpreted as an instance of developmental changes in unlearned stimulus salience hierarchies. The low saliency of transverse compounds was suggested to be related to reading difficulties.…

Children, ages 7-8 and 11-12, were asked to represent pairs of nouns in memory as a single interactive image, as two separate images, or by a control procedure; and then were tested either by cued or noncued recall. Results were interpreted as supporting an imagery-organization hypothesis. (Author/SB)

Although there has been a substantial decline in cigarette consumption among the adult population in the United States, use of cigarettes among the adolescent population has continued to grow. Since 1993, a disturbing increase in smoking among college students has been observed. This study attempts to reduce public smoking outside classroom…

This study suggests that the verbal facilitation effect is due to variations in verbal cues rather than to differences in pictorial cues. (ST)

Two hypothesis regarding the recall of noun triplets through the use of imagery were investigated in a cued-recall study. (Editor)

This experiment was an attempt to extend recent findings by examining how contextual changes might produce variations in the correct recognition of verbal units' previously presented in a compound display. (Authors/CB)

Study was conducted to investigate the degree to which untrained listeners could correctly identify speaker social status during stimulus controlled vocal status cue situations. (Author)

It was concluded that the retrieval of information from immediate memory is dependent upon the degree of rehearsal of presented information. (Author)

Authors investigated the hypothesis that differences in aggressive behavior may partly be a function of differences (a) in the perception of aggressive cues, or (b) in the degree in which retaliation is expected. (Authors)

Article examines the importance of retrieval factors in recall as well as suggesting a method which may be useful in studying within-category recall. (Author/ML)

Shows that illustrations of even the most seemingly common objects may not be recognized by children and that nonrecognition may defeat the purpose of materials, such as dictionaries, which are designed for independent work. Bibliography. (RW)
