Discusses a paper by Katz, Healy, and Shankweiler that found, contrary to their predictions, that poor readers were significantly impaired on two order recall tasks that were differentiated by the extent to which phonetic memory strategies were employed. Discusses other studies that manipulated the rate of stimulus presentation in order recall…

Assessed the effects of Transcendental Meditation on the perceptual efficiency of the cerebral hemispheres in 20 right-handed men who underwent reaction time trials to an auditory stimulus. Results suggested Transcedental Meditation is an attentional strategy that disrupts the usual biases of the brain. (JAC)

Primary purpose of the present research was to test the reasoning that any procedure that interferes with the naming of the test stimuli, while leaving visual complexity unaffected, ought to increase the detrimental effects on reaction time and accuracy produced by changing case. (Authors/CB)

A number of models are considered that specify how children and adults solve single-digit addition problems. (Authors)

By pushing a child to an early acceptance of our perceptions, we often fail to listen to him and understand what he is saying. (Editor)

This paper suggests that although there is reasonable evidence to support that portion of the Collins-Quillian theory of semantic memory which hypothesizes that words are ordered hierarchically in memory, there is little evidence in support of their hypothesis of cognitive economy of storage in memory.

Supports the proposition that anxiety over intellectual performance is one antecedent of a reflective cognitive disposition. (Author/WY)

Results of this study of 72 4-month-old infants suggest caution in using an overt demonstration of habituation as a necessary index of perceptual learning. (Author/MG)

Adults and eight and nine-year-old children were given coincidence-anticipation trials to test their motor reactions and anticipation of motor events. Differences in the order of the trials may have contributed to the differences across age groups. (CJ)

Subjects decided whether sentences as "The treaty passed" were "true" or "false," given number of votes cast for the bill and criterion that determined its status. An additive-stages model was applied to verification times from the present and prior studies, and was used to describe certain markedness and congruity…
