Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

Foundations of Human Memory provides an introduction to the scientific study of human
memory with an emphasis on both the major theories of memory and the laboratory studies …

A model of short-term memory and episodic memory is presented, with the core assumptions
that (a) people parse their continuous experience into episodic clusters and (b) items are …

The human memory system is remarkable in its capacity to focus its search on items learned
in a given context. This capacity can be so precise that many leading models of human …

Results from studies that have examined age-related changes in gray matter based on
structural MRI scans have not always been consistent. Reasons for this variability likely …

In 4 experiments, participants were presented with lists of between 1 and 15 words for tests
of immediate memory. For all tasks, participants tended to initiate recall with the first word on …

One way to study the associative processes at work during episodic memory is to examine
the order of participant responses, which reveal the strong tendency to transition between …

Recent findings suggest that the immediate free recall (IFR) of short lists is similar to
immediate serial recall (ISR). These findings were obtained using a methodology in which …

Prior work on organization in free recall has focused on the ways in which semantic and
temporal information determine the order in which material is retrieved from memory …

In five experiments, rehearsal and recall phenomena were examined using the free recall
and immediate serial recall (ISR) tasks. In Experiment 1, participants were presented with …
