The study compared multiple-list transfer (from three training lists) and single-list transfer (from one training list), with total amount of training held constant (at 3, 12, or 36 trials) and with each A-B' and A'-B training list at the same level of similarity to the transfer list. (Editor)

The present study investigated further the effects of semantic category on speed of matching a target word to words in a memory set. (Author)

This paper describes and tests a two-stage model for a "semantic congruity effect" in comparative judgments. (Editor)

The present study gives personality descriptions of exhibitionists derived from the MMPI in an attempt to shed light on clinically derived postulations. (Author)

Two experiments were carried out investigating the extent to which recognition responses to pictures are based on specific detail vs. general information. (Editor)

The data of B. D. Layton and B. Turnbull's (1974) two extra sensory perception (ESP) experiments are used to illustrate Bayesian hypothesis tests that provide more useful information than is obtained from significance tests. (Editor)

Success in using a computer in education as a problem-solving tool requires a change in the way of thinking or of approaching a problem. An algorithm, i.e., a finite step-by-step solution to a problem, can be designed around the data processing concepts of input, processing, and output to provide a basis for classifying problems. If educators…

This manual provides electrical and electronic engineers with an introduction to online information retrieval as implemented on the DIALOG information retrieval system. Sections cover: (1) the development of computerized information retrieval; (2) its advantages; (3) the equipment needed, DIALOG hours of availability, methods of access, and cost…

The authors report an empirical study, evaluating the effectiveness of a moral education programme in schools. (Editor)

Two experiments were conducted using the procedure reported by Wickens in 1972 for the study of relevant encoding dimensions in short-term memory. (Editor)

This study investigates detrimental perceptual effects of adding extraneous stimuli to a tachistoscopic pattern. In two experiments, a general inhibitory effect on reproduction accuracy was found, along with a local effect on elements spatially close to the extraneous stimuli. (Editor)

The major purpose of the present study was to provide a direct comparison of temporal contiguity effects in intentional and incidental PA learning, using the same orienting conditions and ISI values in intentional and incidental learning tasks. (Author)

It has been proposed that the ability of a visual noise mask to stop processing of a target stimulus under backward-masking conditions be gauged by its ability to obscure the target when both stimuli are viewed simultaneously. Authors assessed the usefulness of this proposal. (Editor/RK)

The present study attempted to determine which system, behavior contracts or behavior proclamations, would be more effective in upgrading the academic and social behaviors of students in a typical suburban high school. (Author/RK)

The present study investigated the effects of choice vs. no choice on opinion change under varying degrees of discrepancy between the initial position of the recipient and that advocated in the message. (Author)
