Marcus, Sandra L.; Rips, Lance J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Examines the reasons for differences in conclusions about the way conditional sentences are comprehended. (AM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Comprehension, Experimental Psychology, Logical Thinking
Foos, Paul W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1982
Discusses the cognitive processes involved in constructing linear orderings from pairwise relationships of information items. Examines the effects that sentence types used in presenting information have on these processes, and tests two models designed to clarify the acquisition of spatial knowledge and the processing of locative and comparative…

Rips, Lance J.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1973
Research supported by a United States Public Health Grant to Edward E. Smith. (VM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Distance, Experiments, Language Research
Singer, Murray – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1981
Describes a process model for sentence verification, including sentences expressing the implications of their antecedents. The model's distinctive features are the assumption that verification is based upon a focal element in the test sentence, and the comparison of this element with information corresponding to it in the antecedent…

Flagg, Paul W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Describes an experiment to test two assumptions concerning what is stored in the memory with regard to sentence structure: (1) that the linear effect observed is based on a tally model rather than on an integrationist mechanism; (2) that this linear effect is not uniquely the result of a mechanism operating at comprehension.

Glucksberg, Sam; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1982
Discusses a sequential, three-stage model of how nonliteral expressions are understood, as proposed in recent linguistic, philosophical, and psychological studies. Testing the model's implication that nonliteral meanings of sentences are ignored whenever literal meanings are plausible, finds evidence that both meanings are processed simultaneously…
