It is apparent that the acquisition of verbal habits depends on the effects of a given occasion being carried over into later repetitions of the situation. Nevertheless, textbooks separate acquisition and retention into distinct categories. The limitation of discussions of retention to long-term

for promoting long-term retention relative to equally spaced retrieval practice. In Experiments 1 and 2, the authors found that expanding retrieval practice of vocabulary word pairs produced short-term benefits 10 min after learning, conceptually replicating Landauer and Bjork’s results. However

The semantic priming effect is shown to be modulated by the instruction to maintain the prime word while conducting a lexical decision to the target. Specifically, the priming effect is absent in situations of prime-retention. An extended version of Dagenbach and Carr’s (1994) Center

, however, the results clearly revealed that the less conspicuous compartments such as leaf litter and ruderal vegetations are more important in nitrogen uptake and retention than the prominent reed (Phragmites australis) meadows. Moreover, short-term nitrogen retention in these nutrient rich marshes occurs

short-term memory (STM) situation. Experimental Ss were given 2 set per pair to learn two A-B pairs and two A-C pairs and then 10 set of interpolated number reading before a retention test was administered. Control.Ss learned only List-l pairs and had additional interpolated material to equate retention

-mated by infra-red spectrophotometry after ashing. The results indicated different initial fractional retentions but that the rate of clearance was independent of the type of asbestos and of the concentration during exposure. The rates of deposition and clearance could be described in terms of a model, modified

Acquisition and short-term retention of inhaler techniques require intact

this memory effect, and in particular for the differences in shortterm memory found in our object detection and change detection studies? There are three main possibilities. Knowledge of typical scene composition could influence the initial encoding of object information into memory, the short-term
