The relationship between unipolar models of sex-role identity and situational cues on fear of success was investigated. Situational variables were of greater importance in affecting female response to female success. Some data indicated that general diffusion of sex-role identity rather than high femininity is related to avoidance of success.…

Free recall, cued recall, color recall, organization in recall, and sorting of three and four year olds were assessed on nine-item lists of objects that were orthogonally varied on color and category dimensions. Subjects were 64 boys and girls. (Author/MP)

Examines possible differences between second and fifth graders' ability to use cues for recall when the target items are equally accessible to such cues. Subjects were 48 elementary school children. (MP)

Investigates the extent to which educable mentally retarded (EMR) children make functional use of a hierarchical class inclusion system in a memory retrieval task that does not have experimenter-imposed input organization. (MP)

Indicates that preschool-aged children can and do rely on temporal ordering as a cue in making a causal judgment about a simple, mechanical event. (Author/RH)

A total of 72 children aged 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 were studied in a test of three hypotheses: younger children will use cues adaptively in a simple but not a complex situation; older children will act adaptively in both situations; the rate of change accelerates from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 years old. (MS)

Explores the possibility that measurable individual differences in hypnotic susceptibility or the ability to attend selectively to informational cues may account for a portion of the variability found in several types of geometrical visual illusions. (Author/RK)

In the first of two experiments investigating the inhibitory effect of cuing, the taxonomic frequencies of cue words and critical words were manipulated orthogonally. (Editor)

Investigates the effectiveness of cues and the differences between cued-recall and free association tasks. (Author/RK)

Tulving and Thomson's encoding specificity effect was examined as a function of grammatical class and concreteness of the cues. (Editor)

Two studies (1) compared the ability of pre- and post-operational children to seriate sets of 4 temporal sequences presented simultaneously and (2) examined the ability to recall sequences when given the initial, middle, or terminal item as a retrieval cue. (SB)

This research was designed to investigate sentence comprehension and recall through an examination of cue effectiveness. It was expected that a cue which contained information about an object that was a probable inference from the sentence would be an effective recall cue. (Author/RK)

This research investigates why it is that the more concrete the subject noun phrase of a sentence, the more likely the predicate is to be recalled when the subject noun phrase is the cue. (Editor/RK)

In two experiments, an adult presented 2-year-olds with an unfamiliar solid object, either rigid or flexible, and performed an action that emphasized the object's shape or material. Children were then asked to choose an object that matched the one shown. As hypothesized, the adult's action information alone directed children to attend to relevant…

A study involving 33 college students and adults performing a cued recall task found that recall performance was more sensitive to length of the retention interval in the presence of unassociated cues than associated cues. This contrasts with results from analyses of informational demands from the environment in previous studies. (SLD)
