Hogaboam, Thomas W.; Perfetti, Charles A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Presents evidence in support of the ordered search model of word meaning computation in sentence contexts. This model hypothesizes that access to multiple meanings occurs in a fixed order regardless of context. (AM)

Descriptors: Association (Psychology), Experiments, Language Research, Learning Theories
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)

Lesgold, Alan M.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Five experiments were conducted that illustrate microprocesses of discourse comprehension related to foregrounding. An intermediate case in which prior memories exist but must be reinstated to active memory was studied in detail. (SW)

Graesser, Arthur C.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
A schema-based framework for representing knowledge and prose organization was studied. Testing of a script pointer and tag hypothesis confirmed that memory discrimination is better for atypical actions in a passage than for typical script actions and that there is no memory discrimination for very typical actions.
