Singer, Murray; Ferreira, Fernanda – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
A study examining readers' ability to infer consequences backward and forward from events described in stories is described. Results show that backward consequence inferences are more reliably drawn during the course of reading than forward consequence inferences. (MSE)

Guenther, R. Kim; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments to investigate differences in the semantic classification of pictures and words. The data suggest that visual short-term memory and semantic memory operate in semantic-decision tasks though these sources of information differ in characteristics, potential for activation, and level of abstraction.

Maki, Ruth H.; Schuler, Jennie – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments demonstrating that recall for words increases with deeper levels of processing and with longer rehearsal intervals. Asserts that there is no interaction between those strategies. (PMJ)

Till, Robert E.; Walsh, David A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments to test age-related difFerences in sentence memory arising from sources other than noncognitive factors. Age-related differences are discussed in terms of deficiencies at encoding and retrieval. (PMJ)
