Coding Systems and the Comprehension of Instructional Materials
Abstract
The initial hardware problems with the Prime seemed to have been resolved when new problems were discovered within the central processor itself. The circuit board involved has been sent back to the manufacturer. We hope to have the Prime system ready to operate--both in terms of hard and software--in time for the summer. Wickelgren and his students developed a new method--the 'yes-no recall' method for studying retrieval dynamics of recall within the same paradigm that he has been using to study retrieval of recognition memory. One surprising finding is that although the ultimate strength of recognition memory is stronger than that of recall, the dynamics of retrieval--time to contact trace and rate of buildup of information--are the same for both. The speed- accuracy paradigm is being applied to the study of imagery, semantic memory, and speech recognition.
