The present study was undertaken to explore the influence of language (Chinese or English), meaningfulness, and mode of stimulus presentation on serial learning. (Author/RK)

Examines earlier studies relating to human memory, extracts estimates of parameters that appear to be crucial to performance in complex tasks, and illustrates how these parameter values predict behavior in a range of laboratory situations. (JR)

The present investigation was concerned with the manner in which changes in children's behavior to one dispenser of reinforcement (Experimenter A) might affect behavior to another dispenser (Experimenter B). (Author)

The purpose of this paper is to describe important concepts for analyzing communication processes in organizations, and to point out some of the methodological developments related to these concepts. (Author)

This study reports on the prevalence of treatment for, and factors associated with treatment for serious psychological impairment in urban children, aged 6-18. Two samples were studied: a random cross-section of 1,034 Manhattan families, and 1,000 Manhattan families receiving welfare (Aid to Dependent Children).(Author)

A procedure for controlling word encodings tested the effects on recognition memory of acoustic encoding and 2 types of semantic encoding. (Editor)

Two experiments were conducted and the results of both experiments were viewed as consistent with the hypothesis that episodic information (e.g., word pairs, word grouping) is stored separately from semantic information (categories) in long-term memory. (Editor/RK)

A sixty-four-item parent-report Games Inventory was constructed to measure play patterns in normal and gender-deviant boys. (Editor)

This paper (a) describes the rationale and development of the Stephens-Delys Reinforcement Contingency Interview method for assessing locus of control expectancies in children as young as preschool age and (b) summarizes results of subsequent studies bearing on reliability, validity, and problems of the method. (Author/RK)

Ten- and 11-year-old boys and girls were taught to solve Inhelder and Piaget's pendulum problem and the results of the experiment replicated their expectation that unaided 10- and 11-year-olds do not often solve the pendulum problem. (Editor/RK)

In this paper, we explore the rules that determine intuitive predictions and judgments of confidence and contrast these rules to the normative principles of statistical prediction. (Author)

An experiment is described in which 11 naval enlisted men track and simultaneously perform an addition task with or without overt responses. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the nature of the processing of material for recall and recognition as a function of Ss' knowledge of mode of test in order to provide an interpretation of earlier studies. (Author/RK)

Two experiments compared Ss' serial recall of 16 hierarchically formed patterns of ordered digits. (Author)

Conjunctive (CJ), inclusive disjunctive (ID), and conditional (CD) concept conditions were compared with a paired-associate learning (PAL) condition using equivalent information tasks. (Author)
