It is concluded that stimulus grouping can aid short-term memory span only when the method of stimulus grouping is compatible with the method of response grouping. (Author/CB)

Study considered whether distinctive orthography would lead to differential recognition performance when high- and low-distinctiveness words served as both study and distracter items. (Author)

This experiment was an attempt to extend recent findings by examining how contextual changes might produce variations in the correct recognition of verbal units' previously presented in a compound display. (Authors/CB)

This study is consistent with a model of semantic memory that assumes that the memory store is organized primarily into noun categories, and that the process of retrieving information from this store consists of entering the appropriate category as a first step. (Authors)

The age effect in this study was such that younger children required proportionately more experience with reward than nonreward before they were able to improve their performance on reward problems over six sessions. (Author)

Given a chance to eat the candy or drink the juice in this study, the 5-year-olds, 7-year-olds and young adults failed to conserve and made choices based on what they said was appearance of greater quantity rather than upon the already established equivalencies. (Authors/CB)

Experiment designed to answer questions regarding the correspondence between concrete and abstract actions. (Author/CB)

The accuracy of memory for the position of a spot in a plain visual field was measured. The variables manipulated were: duration of presentation; length of retention period; presence or absence of distracting activity. (Author)

Purpose of this experiment was to explore the effects of pre- and postshift stimulus similarity, type of shift, and difficulty of discrimination in the standard solution shift - concept identification paradigm. (Authors/CB)

The American Council on Education has a data bank, the Cooperative Institutional Research Program, that offers aid to educational researchers. (PG)

The intent of this paper is to generalize the min and max clustering procedures in such a way that the assumption of a symmetric similarity measure is unnecessary. (Author)

When teaching elementary concepts on information theory a problem keeps reoccurring which, if only for pedagogical reasons, deserves discussion. (Author)

Results clearly show a preference for correctly classified familiar shapes over their novel counterparts. (Authors)

It was concluded that the retrieval of information from immediate memory is dependent upon the degree of rehearsal of presented information. (Author)

Findings clearly demonstrate that interference theory can account for the forgetting of meaningfully-learned, connected discourse. (Authors)
