Ehrlich, S.; Philippe, M. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Reports on a study designed to show that Tulving's theory of encoding specificity and Bahrick's theory of associative continuity are not contradictory, rather complementary. (CLK)

Sheldon, Amy – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Research is reported in which children were tested for their comprehension of four types of sentences with relative clauses. The Parallel Function Hypothesis is proposed, and implications for adult grammar are discussed. (Author/RM)

Cairns, Helen S.; Kamerman, Joan – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Two psycholinguistic processes are examined in a phoneme monitoring experiment and a sentence completion experiment. Tests were conducted with matched materials on subjects drawn from one population. With ambiguous lexical items all meanings are retrieved, but following a decision stage only one is transferred to memory. (SC)

Byrne, Brian – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
In open-ended and forced-choice situations, subjects were asked to interpret phrases containing superficially incompatible adjective pairs. The results demonstrate that English speakers implicitly understand proposed linguistic principles underlying prenominal adjective ordering. (SW)

Rips, Lance J.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Verifying simple sentences generally involves a process wherein the meanings of individual words are combined to form the meaning of the entire sentence. Three experiments are described in which the combination process was investigated by asking subjects to decide whether S-V-Adj-O sentences were true or false. (Author/RM)

Bock, Kathryn – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
An investigation of the relationship between a speaker's decision to treat portions of the information in a sentence as given or new and the syntactic form of the sentence produced. A tendency of English speakers to use alternative surface structure rules to present given information before new information is demonstrated. (AMH)

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.
