TL;DR: It is demonstrated that access to general visual features persists longer than access to specific visual details in the differential retrieval of specific details and general features in 3-mo-olds.
Abstract: The differential retrieval of specific details and general features was studied in a conditioning paradigm with 3-mo.-olds. Infants learned to move a crib mobile by foot kicking and produced high response rates during cued-recall tests with the same components after retention intervals of 24, 48, 72, and 96 hr. Use of a novel mobile during retention tests significantly reduced responding for as long as 3 days after training. As time since training increased, however, response rate gradually increased until, after 96 hr., it was high and indistinguishable from response to the original mobile. The latter was interpreted as (a) the failure to detect specific details as novel after 96 hr. and (b) the use of general features of the novel mobile as an instance of the general class "mobiles" as retrieval cues. The data demonstrate that access to general visual features persists longer than access to specific visual details.

TL;DR: This paper found that deficits in note taking ability are not as critical as deficits in studying from notes, and that the importance of note reading is not as important as studying from the notes.

TL;DR: Based upon response to an inhibitor from wheat gliadin, 80 random samples of human salivary amylase were separated into three phenotypic groups and each phenotype occurred with a high frequency rendering this a polymorphic locus.
Abstract: Based upon response to an inhibitor from wheat gliadin, 80 random samples of human salivary amylase were separated into three phenotypic groups. Each phenotype occurred with a high frequency rendering this a polymorphic locus. The susceptibility to the inhibitor may be a useful marker for studies of tendency to caries and periodontal disease as well as for studies of genetic variation and linkage.
