Herrmann, Douglas J.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1973
Descriptors: Abstract Reasoning, Classification, Cognitive Processes, Language Research
Potter, Mary C.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
To test the hypothesis that meaning of a sentence is represented in an abstract format rather than one mediated by words or images, 96 spoken sentences were immediately followed by a word or drawing probe. It was concluded that sentence or probe meaning is represented in an abstract conceptual format. (CHK)

Holmes, V. M.; Langford, J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Reports on an experiment in which performance on abstract and concrete sentences was compared in a sentence meaning classification task and in a free recall task. Results show that concrete sentences were classified significantly faster than abstract ones. (CLK)

Guenther, R. Kim; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments to investigate differences in the semantic classification of pictures and words. The data suggest that visual short-term memory and semantic memory operate in semantic-decision tasks though these sources of information differ in characteristics, potential for activation, and level of abstraction.

Marschark, Marc; Paivio, Allan – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Three experiments investigated whether abstract as well as concrete sentences can be processed in a holistic manner. Results suggest that the processing of both types of sentences involves construction of particularized, holistic mental representations that contain information and inferences based on context and knowledge of language and the…

Moeser, Shannon Dawn – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Experiments are reported in which semantically interrelating sentences were presented to subjects as discrete items, and inference tests were given to measure the degree to which the similar information had been stored in the same memory system. Results suggest that verbal information is sometimes encoded into an episodic system. (Author/RM)

Maki, Ruth H.; Schuler, Jennie – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments demonstrating that recall for words increases with deeper levels of processing and with longer rehearsal intervals. Asserts that there is no interaction between those strategies. (PMJ)

Till, Robert E.; Walsh, David A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1980
Reports three experiments to test age-related difFerences in sentence memory arising from sources other than noncognitive factors. Age-related differences are discussed in terms of deficiencies at encoding and retrieval. (PMJ)
