Forster, K. I.; Dickinson, R. G. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
The properties of four different tests of the treatment effect in experiments using linguistic materials are examined. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Error Patterns, Experiments, Language Research
Clark, Herbert H. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1973
Research supported by a grant from the Public Health Service, National Institute of Mental Health. (DD)
Descriptors: Bibliographies, Diagrams, Error Patterns, Language Research
Allen, Gordon A.; Arbak, Christopher J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
The priority effect being studied is higher first-list than second-list recall induced by the absence of an immediate test on the first list. The hypothesis that this effect is caused by the subject's expectation of a later test was tested in this experiment. (Author/RM)

Hubert, Lawrence J.; Levin, Joel R. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
A statistical framework is suggested for comparing a single partition of an object set to a second partition posited a priori or possibly to a more general proximity matrix. (Author/RM)

The Verification of Semantic Relations in a Same-Different Paradigm: An Asymmetry in Semantic Memory
Shoben, Edward J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Discusses two experiments into a subject's "Different" reaction time in judging whether two test instances are members of the same semantic category. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: Language Processing, Language Research, Memory, Reaction Time
Clark, Herbert H.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Four views of the article by Wike and Church in this issue. (RM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Data Analysis, Language, Language Research
Wike, Edward L.; Church, James D. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Clark's arguments for treating language materials as random rather than fixed effects are examined, and the problems with random effects designs and approximate statistical tests (quasi F-ratios) are reviewed. It is suggested that researchers use fixed factors. (Author/RM)

Raser, Glen A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1972
Study conducted while the author was the recipient of a National Institute of Mental Health Postdoctoral Fellowship and supported, in part, by an Office of Education Research Grant. (VM)

Corbett, Albert T.; Dosher, Barbara A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Reading comprehension is an active inferential process. Three experiments are described in which the possibility was examined that highly probable inferences are drawn, even when they are unnecessary for comprehension. (Author/RM)

Keil, Frank C.; Batterman, Nancy – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1984
In a study using preschool and elementary school children, the children's judgments of whether brief stories described valid instances of a concept shifted in a manner consistent with the authors' hypothesis that meanings typically develop from representations in which characteristic features predominate to those in which defining features become…

Valle Arroyo, Francisco – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1982
Examines the importance of context in the processing of negative statements and its influence on the latency components of negative sentences. In particular, tries to determine whether the longer reaction times to such sentences in experiments could be accounted for by their inappropriateness in the experimental settings. (Author/MES)

Birnbaum, Isabel M.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
The influence of alcohol intoxication on the retrieval of information from memory was investigated in nonalcoholic subjects Intoxicated subjects recalled fewer categories and words within categories. The retrieval stage of memory did not appear to be affected by alcohol. (SW)

Keenan, Janice M.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1984
Four versions of several paragraphs had the same second sentence and were referentially coherent, but they differed in causal relatedness of the two sentences. Results showed that despite referential coherence, recognition and recall memory for the causes was poorest for the most and least related causes and best for causes of intermediate…

Schaffer, William O.; LaBerge, David – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Two experiments were conducted to test how readers process unattended words in a display and how the semantic category of these flanking words affects response time. (Author/AM)
