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…

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)

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)

Hupet, Michel; Le Bouedec, Brigitte – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
This study tested predictions from Clark and Haviland's formalization of what people do when integrating information. Subjects were presented with simple sentences issued from a set of complex ideas, and asked to reconstruct the complete ideas. Results support predictions based on a recoding strategy formalized by Clark and Haviland. (CHK)

Moeser, Shannon D.; Bregman, Albert S. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1973
Research done while the first author was on a Science Scholarship from the National Research Council of Canada (NRC); research also supported by an NRC grant to the second author; forms part of Shannon Moeser's doctoral thesis submitted to McGill University. (VM)

Kolers, Paul A.; Roediger, Henry L. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1984
Presents a "procedural view" of the learning mind, arguing against previous theories citing physical properties as its basis. A more process-oriented view of information processing is offered, which describes "mind" in terms of skill in manipulating symbols, and the notion of skills is shown to provide a useful framework for accounting for…

Hopf-Weichel, Rosemarie – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
A model is proposed in which information processing is accompanied by dynamic processes, including the reorganization of items into active patterns and their subsequent displacement. Research using category names and instances showed that reaction times decreased with each successive repetition under one condition, but longer latencies were…

Goldman, Susan R.; Pellegrino, James W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Trace strength was examined as a function of single and spaced-multiple encodings within and across the orthographic, acoustic, and semantic domains. Recall results revealed that multiple encodings yielded additive or greater than additive retention effects while the recognition accuracy results revealed additive or less than additive effects.…

Watkins, Michael – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Examines the inhibition of recall of list items when extralist items are introduced, and describes experiments which suggest that this is an expression of a more general inhibition phenomenon. (Author/AM)

Stein, Barry S.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Reports on two experiments which question the assumption that semantic processing is superior to nonsemantic processing, and which demonstrate that effective semantic elaboration cannot be equated with the quantity of semantically congrous information. (Author/AM)

James, Carlton; Hillinger, Michael – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
The Bransford and Franks paradigm for the study of semantic integration is called into question. Three experiments are described that test the hypothesis that this paradigm produces its results by creating confusion and interference. The results call for continued search for a paradigm relative to the study of integration. (AMH)

Postman, Leo; Kruesi, Elizabeth – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Experiment I studied type of processing (semantic or nonsemantic) and dimension of rating (pleasantness or frequency of occurrence). Recall was higher under semantic conditions and after ratings of pleasantness. Experiment 2 showed that the difference between incidental and intentional learners increases as more stress is placed on the learning…

Morris, C. Donald; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Levels of processing were manipulated as a function of acquisition task and type of recognition test in three experiments. Experiment I showed semantic acquisition to be superior to rhyme acquisition given a standard recognition test, whereas rhyme acquisition was superior given a rhyming recognition test. Results are interpreted and discussed.…

Roediger, Henry L., III; Tulving, Endel – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Three experiments are reported in which, following presentation of a categorized list, subjects either recalled the whole list or a part of the list. Results indicate that it is difficult to retrieve selectively parts of a studied list when instructions specify only what not to recall. (Author/AM)
