Memory Interference as a Function of Rule-Governed Expectancies
Mari Riess Jones, John W. O'hara · The American Journal of Psychology · 1973
The subjects learned repeating binary patterns of different transformational rule trees but equivalent run-encoded uncertainty (Experiment I) or of homogeneous versus inhomogeneous rule trees (Experiment II). The data illustrate the usefulness of prediction paradigms generally, and of Restle's rule system specifically, in the study and manipulation of the traditionally vague concept of expectancy.
