Treiman, Rebecca; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Reports on three experiments focusing on phonological recoding in fluent reading of meaningful sentences and asks whether spelling-sound rules play a role in this process. Results show that effects attributed to spelling-sound rule use--effects previously found in lexical decision tasks with single words--also emerge in sentence reading. (EKN)

Anderson, John R. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Two experiments are reported to distinguish between the representation of sentences in immediate versus longer-term memory. It is indicated that the immediate representation is a verbatim image of the sentence but at delays there are both verbatim images and propositional representations. (Author/RM)

Olson, James N.; MacKay, Donald G. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
A study testing two theories about the processing of ambiguous sentences is reported. Results suggest that parallel processing and reciprocal interactions underlie the comprehension of ambiguous sentences. (RM)

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…

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)

Schweller, Kenneth G.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
It was hypothesized that Ss hearing sentences containing reported utterances would confuse these sentences with new sentences containing illocutionary forces or perlocutionary effects consistent with the original sentences. Predicted effects were found in recall for illocutionary forces and in recognition memory for perlocutionary effects.…

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)

Holyoak, Keith J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
This study was based on that of Jorgensen and Kintsch (1973) regarding verification time and ease of imagery of sentences. The present study concluded that the results of Jorgensen and Kintsch do not distinguish the effects of rated imagery on reaction time from the effects of semantic relatedness and semantic complexity.
