Kunzendorf, Robert G. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Under certain experimental conditions, it was affirmed more quickly that a word belonged to a large category than to a small one. This, in conjunction with other experiment results, contradicts predictions of previous theories of word meaning and supports a feature selection theory derived from Garner's critical realism position.

Shulman, Harvey G.; Davison, Thomas C. B. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Decisions about whether pairs of letter strings are both words or not are faster for semantically related words than unrelated words. Two experiments showed the semantic relatedness effect is greatly reduced when orthographically illegal, unpronounceable strings were used as negative items. Lexical decisions involve options on codes representing…

Juola, James F.; McDermott, Dennis A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Reports an experiment with tasks involving memory search for a given probe word with respect to a set of semantic category labels for subjects in a word comparison task and a set of semantic category labels for subjects in the categorization task. The memory search process is fundamentally different in categorization and comparison tasks. (CLK)

MacLeod, Colin M. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Two experiments investigated the representation of meaning and input language in bilingual memory. (Author/RM)

Shoben, Edward J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Discusses two experiments into a subject's "Different" reaction time in judging whether two test instances are members of the same semantic category. (Author/RM)

Dodd, David H.; Bradshaw, Jeffrey M. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
The effect of presupposition on memory depends upon a restricted class of pragmatic conditions. If certain intended misleaders are introduced, presupposition does not enter into memory. This was shown with two experiments in which subjects "remembered" an accident differently, depending upon whether misleading facts were introduced.…

Hampton, James A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Two experiments tested a set of predictions regarding category definitions and categorization latencies. Neither prediction was supported by the experiment results, leading to the formulation of an alternative feature-based model of category definitions using the notion of a polymorphous concept. (Author/AM)

Bartlett, James Craig; Tulving, Endel – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Two experiments are reported investigating the effects of immediate recall upon subsequent recall and recognition of list items and examining the relation between positive and negative recency effects. (Author/RM)

Loftus, Elizabeth F.; Palmer, John C. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Two experiments are reported in which subjects viewed films of automobile accidents and then answered questions about events occurring in the films. Wording of questions regarding speed influenced subjects' estimates of speed. (Author/RM)

Harris, Richard J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
A study is reported investigating the question whether inferences made from sentences occur immediately in comprehension or are in part a function of the way material from sentences is stored in memory. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Comprehension, Language Research, Linguistic Theory
Fredericksen, Carl H. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
A study of conceptual and relational responses of subjects when recalling the semantic content of a text they have just heard. Responses can be overgeneralized and inferred. Responses studied reflect processes of adjustment during acquisition of information and the processes occurring during recall. (SC)

Homa, Donald; Omohundro, Julie – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
This study investigated the role of semantic variables, derivable from multidimensional scaling, in search and decision processes. (Author/RM)

Rips, Lance J. Stubbs, Margaret E. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Two experiments studied how people determine relationships among family members. In one experiment, subjects were to determine relationships in hypothetical families. In the second, the families were in the subjects' experience. It was determined that memory was organized in terms of parent-child relations together with knowledge of which members…

Hayes-Roth, Barbara; Hayes-Roth, Frederick – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
An adaptive network model is proposed to represent the structure and processing of knowledge. Accessibility of subjects' stored information was measured. Relationships exist among (a) frequency of verifying a test relation, (b) other relations involving concepts used to evaluate test relation, (c) frequency of verifying those relations. (CHK)

Franks, Jeffery J.; Bransford, John D. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Reference is made to a 1973 article of Singer and Rosenberg regarding linguistic integration. Some of their arguments are supported, and certain claims about integration clarified. (RM)
