Among the objectives of the present study was the intention to replicate Spielberger and Denny's (1963) procedure with a different set of words, a different test of verbal ability, and a larger and different group of subjects. (Author/RK)

Four experiments assessed the influence of a pretraining session on the recognition of English words. (Editor)

Twenty subjects were pretrained with oral presentations of either three- or six-letter pseudowords exposed 0, 1, 5, 25, or 50 times. Then tachistoscopic duration thresholds were obtained for these pseudowords. (Editor)

The present study was designed to examine the relative contributions of perception and memory to the word-frequency effect in the Solomon and Postman design. (Author)

In 1972, Roydes and Osgood studied the tachistoscopic recognition of words that can be used as either nouns or verbs and found an interaction of predominant form class by set to perceive a given form class. Three experiments were done to test the generality of that finding. (Editor)

Two experiments using five lists of words were conducted to explore the effects of the concreteness or abstractness of words on their tachistoscopic recognition. (Editor)

Tests of cognitive and perceptual abilities were given to 140 college students. These subjects then participated on two word-recognition tasks in which their recognition thresholds to both English and artificial words were obtained. (Editor)

Several experiments investigated the effect of word length on recognition thresholds for both familiar English words and unfamiliar pseudowords, the thresholds measured both with and without a stimulus mask. (Editor)
