A fan effect experiment where participants perform recall and recognition tasks on a study set of sentences with three content words was conducted. The aggregate results confirm a fan effect (Anderson, 1974). A model of the recall and recognition tasks was created using Dynamically Structured Holographic memory (DSHM). A comparison to the human data is presented. A discussion of the current res...

The long term moisturizing effect of ten different skin care products was tested on 22 female volunteers using a low frequency electrical bioimpedance instrument. We found large differences in the moisturizing effect between different products and also large interpersonal variations. Products which gave a large increase in skin hydration on one person could have no effect on another person. The...

2 experiments are reported which attempted to determine the basis of the "repetition effect," i.e., the observed shorter reaction time (RT) for repeated events than for nonrepeated events. The 1st experiment was designed to determine whether the effect was due primarily to peripheral response facilitation, or primarily to more central coding effects. By employing a condensing task in which the ...
