Three reaction time (RT) experiments using a modified Strenberg procedure were conducted to determine the number of memory representations maintained for perceptual (dot-pattern) concepts. (Editor)

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)

A list discrimination paradigm was used to examine the effects of orienting tasks upon the later temporal discrimination of words. The orienting task involved judgments about the relatedness of the words in a list to some concept. (Editor)

Two experiments are described which are concerned with the development of referebtial ability in children. (Editor)

Recent work by Hamill (1976) suggests that placement of monosyllabic content words in grammatical strings is correlated with the rhythmic pattern of the string. Using classic paradigms, this research shows that rhythmic organization is also evident in speech material without grammatical structure or the content word/function word distinction.…

If animals receive inescapable electric shocks, their subsequent avoidance-escape learning is poor. This phenomenon, which can be called "the interference effect", was studied in four experiments. (Editor)

Investigates how the inhibition and latency-reduction effects interact with each other and how they change with changes in the intensity of the startle-eliciting stimulus. (Author/RK)

The results of four experiments show that (a) recall superiority over recognition is reversed by the use of unrelated word pairs in the study list, and (b) the reversal of recall superiority leaves intact the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words. (Editor)

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

If half of the items in a list are repeated over a series of trials while the remainder of the items are new on each trial, recall of the repeated items is impaired. Two experiments examined the list context effect and a list differentiation interpretation was supported. (Editor/RK)

As part of a search for a unified theory of attention, observers detected letters in streams of digits under conditions of divided or selective attention for a period of 10 hours. The practice effects on the detectability of targets and on the response criteria used by observers were evaluated. (Editor/RK)

Three converging procedures were used to determine whether pictures presented in a rapid sequence at rates comparable to eye fixations are understood and then quickly forgotten. (Editor)

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

The typical bargaining paradigm is described and the limitations of general theories of bargaining are discussed. The results of relevant experiments are then reviewed and evaluated. (Editor/RK)

The present research represents an initial attempt to compare the results obtained using artificial information with results obtained in a typical semantic memory experiment. (Editor)
