Automatic processing of fundamental information: the case of frequency of occurrence. Hasher, L. & Zacks, R. T. Am Psychol, 39(12):1372-88, 1984. abstract bibtex Reviews the evidence that suggests that information about frequency of occurrence is stored in memory by an implicit or automatic encoding process. This evidence shows that frequency information is stored for a wide variety of naturally occurring events. Laboratory research shows that usually powerful task variables (e.g., instructions, practice) and S variables (e.g., age, ability) do not influence the encoding process. Evidence is also reviewed that either directly or indirectly implicates the use of frequency information across issues in psychology ranging from the acquisition and representation of knowledge domains to decision making to sex-role development.
