The recall of verbal material accompanying semantically well-integrated and semantically poorly-integrated sentences
(Elsevier, 1969-12)
This study tested the hypothesis that the recall of verbal material (critical material) accompanying semantically well-integrated (SWI) sentences will be superior to the recall of verbal material accompanying semantically ...
Stimulus pronunciability in aural paired-associate learning
(Elsevier, 1966-02)
An experiment was conducted in an attempt to assess the merits of a stimulus availability interpretation of stimulus pronunciability (PR) effects in aural paired-associate learning. Stimulus PR was varied within lists of ...
A study of denotative similarity with restricted word associations
(Elsevier, 1967-10)
Data for this study were collected in two parts. In the first, 70 Ss responded to a list of stimuli in seven tasks of restricted association. The second part of the study employed stimuli consisting of 11 of these original ...
Short-term retention of paired associates as a function of instructions and retention measure
(Elsevier, 1968-04)
Two sets of instructions (traditional paired-associate instructions and special instructions to mediate) and three retention tasks (free recall, modified free recall, and recognition matching) were used to investigate the ...
Short-term memory for words with a perceptual-motor interpolated activity,
(Elsevier, 1967-10)
It was maintained that the Brown-Peterson short-term memory (STM) task bears important similarities to procedures used in the study of division of attention, since during STM retention intervals there is competition between ...
Recognition and correct responding mediated by first letter of trigram stimuli
(Elsevier, 1968-06)
Re-examination of previous research reveals that in paired-associate learning, the stimulus-recognition response requisite for association activation depends significantly upon the first letter of trigram stimuli, and that ...
Grammatical factors in sentence retention
(Elsevier, 1966-06)
A rationale for indexing the structural complexity of sentences was introduced and an experiment reported that demonstrated the relationship between this index and sentence retention. The proposed measure entails a ...
Grammatical and associative constraints in sentence retention
(Elsevier, 1968-12)
The free learning technique was used to test several hypotheses about sentence processing in recall. Sentence complexity (mean depth), syntactic type (active, passive), and subject-object association direction were found ...
Ease of verbal S-R learning as a function of the number of mediating associations
(Elsevier, 1964-08)
SummaryIt was hypothesized that ease of verbal S-R learning is a function of the number of mediating units existing between the S and the R. Prior to the test stage three groups of Ss associated either 0, 1, or 2 nonsense ...
Association and phrase structure in sentence recall
(Elsevier, 1968-12)
The effect of within- and between-phrase normative controlled association and phrase structure upon word integration in sentence recall was studied in two experiments. The two experiments differed only with respect to type ...
