Metacognitive and Other Knowledge about the Mental Lexicon
We asked a diverse sample of laypersons (N = 69), as well as a small group of scholars (N = 5), about the number of words they knew, about the number of words in the English language, about the size of English-language dictionaries, and about other topics related to vocabulary size. Respondents in both groups typically viewed their personal lexicon as containing less than 40,000 words, and the size of their active vocabulary as no more than 20,00…
Memory for Event Frequency as a Function of Depression, Age, Intentionality, and Level of Processing
In two experiments, we examined memory for event frequency among depressed and/or elderly subjects (depression was either naturally occurring or induced by the Velten technique). We also manipulated level of processing and instructional set to test the notion that memory for event frequency is relatively invariant across a variety of tasks. Results supported the proposal that memory for frequency is robust in the face of depression and old age. M…

Visual Memory for Place on the Page
Sixty-four Ss were asked to read a lengthy prose passage and were subsequently tested for (a) information recall, (b) memory for location of information answers; and (c) discrimination of information answers in a multiple-choice (MC) task. In aggrement with previous studies, spatial memory was highly reliable and significantly greater for correct than incorrect information answers. However, the present experiments showed that cueing Ss to a spati…
