This research attempts to determine whether integration of information occurs when the information is presented partly in the verbal modality and partly in the pictorial modality; in other words, does cross-modality integration occur? (Author/RK)

Inference and response bias effects in recall from short-term memory were tested in six memory and pseudomemory experiments. Factors known to influence the Ranschburg effect--reduced recall of repeated items--were manipulated in memory and in pseudomemory conditions permitting no specific item retention. (Editor)

Explores whether or not systematic attributional differences between active and passive observers occurs similar to those that exist between actors and observers. (Author/RK)

Describes a physics experiment for demonstrating magnetic lines of force. (SL)

Describes a reaction system experiment utilizing saponification of ethyl acetate by sodium hydroxide. The activity is part of an undergraduate chemical engineering course. (SL)

Experiments by secondary school students which inflict pain and suffering are described. NSTA policy regarding the use of live animals is presented. An argument for the use of animals in research is given along with a recommendation by the author that animal projects should show a reverence for life. (AJ)

Three experiments carried out second-order Pavlovian conditioning using either similar or dissimilar first-and second-order stimuli. All three experiments were designed to identify the effects of similarity upon conditioning as distinct from its effects upon sensitization or stimulus generalization. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments investigated the nature of false recognition errors made after incidental learning that required acoustic or semantic analysis. (Editor)

This research used tasks analogous to Delayed Matching-to-Sample tasks to study pigeons' Short Term Memory for responses and reinforcers, as well as for more conventional stimuli. The broad question is whether stimulus, response, and reinforcer memories are all influenced in the same way by the same independent variables. (Author/RK)

This experiment examined the learning of affective and neutral words in a paired-associate list for chronic schizophrenics and normals. It was predicted that, relative to normals, the chronic schizophrenics would learn much fewer affective words than neutral words. (Author)

Three experiments examined the role of various sources of feedback in the development and maintenance of a complex ballistic skill, dart throwing, using extended practice. (Editor)

Reading reaction time (RT) to visual stimuli was shown to vary according to the nature of simultaneous auditory stimuli. A two-stage model was proposed to explain the results in which parallel processing of simultaneous input occurs prior to a decision-making stage. (Editor)

In recent years several models of human-information processing have been proposed in which the central component is a limited-capacity processing system. One line of research has focused on the question of which stages in the processing sequence require capacity in this system. This research is concerned with time and capacity demands in…

There are many tasks in which people are called on to disregard information that they have already processed. Dealing with inadmissible evidence in a courtroom setting, second-guessing the past, etc. This research investigates such difficulties in a general form, using almanac-type questions. (Editor/RK)

Smaller amounts of materials are used in organic chemistry experiments as a means of improving air quality in the laboratory. Presents a preliminary study of the emissions from selected processes and the mixing of these emissions within the laboratory atmosphere. (JN)
