Friedman, Alinda – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Subjects compared pairs of nonconcrete and "nonimageable" words along a dimension which has no physical analog--the evaluative dimension of the semantic differential. Their reaction time to do so was an inverse logarithmic function of the difference between the numerical "goodness' values they had assigned to the words. (Author/RM)

Descriptors: Adjectives, Cross Cultural Studies, Experiments, Language Research
Oden, Gregg C.; Anderson, Norman H. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
An experiment is reported which was based on the use of judgments of perceived likelihood to study semantic constraints. Results of the experiment are discussed. (Author/RM)

Klemp, George O., Jr. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
A study is reported in which generic assertions, based on inductive and deductive evidence providing varying degrees of support, were presented to subjects for acceptance or rejection. The results show that generalization power (probability of generic agreement) is influenced primarily by inherent verb characteristics. (Author/RM)

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)

The Verification of Semantic Relations in a Same-Different Paradigm: An Asymmetry in Semantic Memory
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)

Holyoak, Keith J.; Walker, Janet H. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Subjects compared the magnitudes of pairs of concepts from the semantic orderings of time, quality and temperature. Results showed that the semantic representations of ordered terms contain subjective magnitude information. (Author/RM)

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)

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)
