Abstract
Using an interference paradigm, we demonstrate that there is a place for a direct coding mechanism in a comprehensive theory of frequency coding. Ss were presented words whose frequency was judged later. Under one set of instructions, these words were coded in terms of numerical associates; under another set of instructions, the coding was governed by nonnumerical associates

An alternative framework for human memory research is outlined in terms of depth or levels of processing and some current data and arguments are reexamined in the light of this alternative framework.

Evidence shows that frequency information is stored for a wide variety of naturally occurring events, and laboratory research shows that usually powerful task variables and subject variables do not influence the encoding process.

There is no strong evidence for the automatic encoding of frequency information, according to two experiments studied the effect of intentionality of learning on memory for the frequency of occurrence of words on a list.

The findings suggest that while frequency can be represented propositionally, it is automatically encoded, from direct experience with repetitions, in analog form.

Postlist frequency judgments of words presented three and five times were higher for the list containing words of Frequency 7, and judgments were also higher following the imagery rating task and relevant to theoretical interpretations of the spacing effect.
Journal of Experimental Psychology Learning Memory and CognitionIs event frequency encoded automatically? The case of alcohol intoxication.

Findings from four experiments show that sensitivity to event frequency is diminished by alcohol intoxication, inconsistent with the idea that frequency-of-occurrence information is automatically encoded.

14 Citations1985Moshe Naveh‐Benjamin, John Jonides
In this task, frequency coding was very sensitive to strategy manipulation and there was no reliable evidence of any frequency coding, at odds with the claim that frequency coding is automatic.
