This study investigated the effects on black and white children of observing black and white models of the interaction of the variables with apparent reward magnitude. (Author)

The present experiments, conducted on two different populations of bilinguals, were designed to differentiate between two positions. Specifically, a demonstration of negative transfer could be interpreted as support for some form of interdependence of storage. (Author/RK)

This paper had three aims: 1, to make more widely known two methods of assessing recognition, one based on ranking and the other on rating, 2, to describe three experiments comparing the two methods, and 3, to give a preliminary account of the results of some theoretical calculations. (Author/RK)

A model of the response process based on signal-detection theory (Tanner & Swets, 1954) was used to analyse PI effects in three different tests of short-term memory. (Editor)

The main objective of this study is to present some differences in the ways boys see themselves and in the ways girls see themselves. (Author)
