Study demonstrates that children, like adults, do have lower tachistoscopic recognition thresholds for good than for bad words. (Authors)

Results indicate that the semantic constraints revealed by adult associative sentences used here are a functional part of the linguistic knowledge a 5-year-old child brings to the task of memorizing sentences. (Authors)

Comparison between relational concepts and word definitions coincided with lower levels of thinking, and abstract definitions with the highest level. (Author)

Research was designed to explore the basis of children's associations in matching and directed association tasks. (Author)
