Richards, Meredith Martin – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Ordering preferences for English adjectives in attributive (prenominal) and predicative (postnominal) positions were found to be in general agreement. Semantically congruent and incongruent adjectives were compared regarding ordering preferences and a "borrowing" theory is proposed. (CHK)

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)

Warns, Marian K. – 1977
A study on sentence processing involving rehearsal, response initiation, and mental transformation required the subject to perform a secondary task concurrently with transformation of a sentence previously given. A secondary task interruption technique was used to allow inferences as to where the planning occurs by measuring increases in task time…

Ratcliff, Roger; McKoon, Gail – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
An experiment is described that involved presenting sentences to the subject for study and then testing single words for recognition (the subject had to decide whether the test word was in one of the study sentences). A large priming effect was obtained. (Author/RM)

Mehler, Jacques; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
French sentences with a long ambiguous word just before a target phoneme led to faster reaction times than did sentences with a short unambigous word just before the target phoneme. (Author/SW)

Layton, Pamela; Simpson, Adrian J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Subjects read sets of active or passive sentences, and an active or passive question was asked about one. Errors were compared. Results suggest that surface form of a single sentence is retained; surface and deep structures are retained for two, and only deep structures of four and eight sentences. (CHK)

Levy, Betty Ann – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Three experiments test the relationship between implicit speech and comprehension processes for meaningful material. (Author/AM)

Underwood, Benton J.; Malmi, Robert A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Three response measures that have been used in the study of temporal codes for memories were evaluated. Subjects were shown a list of words singly for study, and recency, position, and language judgements were obtained. (SW)

Torrey, Jane W. – J Verb Learning Verb Beh, 1969
The possibility of learning grammatical sequence patterns independently of any association between particular words is demonstrated through the use of substitution drills. (Author/FWB)
