Oden, Gregg C.; Anderson, Norman H. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
An experiment is reported which was based on the use of judgments of perceived likelihood to study semantic constraints. Results of the experiment are discussed. (Author/RM)

Research supported in part by a Public Health Service Research grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. (VM)

Gerard, Anthony B.; Mandler, Jean M. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Discusses attempt to replicate and extend Keil's study of effects of ontological knowledge on judgments of sentence acceptability (indicating there is hierarchical one-to-one mapping of predicate-term relations of language onto the basic structure of knowledge). New data does not support Keil but suggests that range of sentence interpretation…

Barclay, J. Richard; Reid, Marylou – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Research is reported which was directed toward characterizing memory representations which underlie inference intrusions in recall. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Comprehension, Language Research, Linguistic Theory
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)

Hayes-Roth, Barbara; Thorndyke, Perry W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Three experiments investigated factors influencing the integration of facts acquired from texts. Subjects encountered related facts in the context of relatively long, meaningful texts, a single text, or in two separate texts. Results indicate that integration can occur in both cases. (SW)

Whitten, William B.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Each of 464 noun pairs was rated for synonymy on a seven-point scale by college students to provide an extensive set of synonym pairs for use as stimuli in experiments, and to evaluate the effects of word encoding order on perceived synonymy. (SW)

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)

Anderson, John R.; Reder, Lynne M. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1974
Research is reported investigating the processes involved in rejecting certain false categorical statements. (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. (Author/RM)

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)
Descriptors: Child Language, Grammar, Language Acquisition, Language Research
MacKay, Donald G. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
This study examines two views of lexical storage and word production, a derivational hypothesis and an independent unit hypothesis. Reaction times and errors were related to derivational complexity. A model of lexical retrieval process incorporating derivational processes is proposed. (Author/SW)

Glanzer, Murray; Ehrenreich, S.L. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Examines, through an investigation of the effect of word frequency on lexical decision, alternative views of how the internal lexicon is structured and searched. A model is developed based on two internal lists: one a ready-access list, the other a complete list. (Author/AM)

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)
