Presland, J. L. – Educational Research, 1974
The investigation described here was carried out in the hope that some kind of classification of children's early written English could be found which would help them to learn sentence skills more effeciently. (Author/RK)

Sacks, H. V.; Eysenck, Michael W. – British Journal of Psychology, 1977
School pupils (mean age 17 years) were classified as convergers or divergers on the basis of their performance on the AH5 Intelligence Test and the Uses of Objects test. They were presented with a set of concrete and abstract sentences, followed immediately by a forced-choice recognition test. Considered the interaction between…

Gude, Chris; Zecmeister, Eugene B. – American Journal of Psychology, 1975
The question asked in the present study is whether individuals record their experiences with sentences in a manner that provides information about the number of times the same basic meaning or idea has been expressed. (Author)

Flagg, Paul W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
Subjects received recognition, meaning, or truth-value instructions in a Bransford and Franks paradigm. The results of two trials indicated that subjects understood and performed very well under recognition and truth-value instructions when constraints on memory were removed. (Editor/RK)

Peterson, Richard G.; McIntyre, Curtis W. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The central focus of the present study was to determine whether subjects retain any information about the specific nature - the specific lexical content - of the individual sentences heard during acquisition. (Author)

Harris, Margaret – British Journal of Psychology, 1976
Studies the influence of both a syntactic cue (i.e. agent-deletion) and a semantic cue (i.e. non-reversibility) on the evolving comprehension of passive sentences by young children. (Author/RK)
Descriptors: Children, Psychological Studies, Research Methodology, Semantics

Kempen, Gerard – British Journal of Psychology, 1976
Presents evidence which, on one hand, disconfirms storage interpretations of the constituent boundary effect and, on the other hand, supports a specific retrieval interpretation. (Author)

Newstead, Stephen E. – British Journal of Psychology, 1976
Presents a more precise analysis of the way in which semantic constraints affect the perception of reversible sentences. (Author/RK)

Just, Marcel Adam; Carpenter, Patricia A. – British Journal of Psychology, 1975
Three experiments examined how people compare sentences about spatial location to pictures and images. (Editor)

Gruneberg, Michael M.; And Others – British Journal of Psychology, 1974
This study examines the effect of instruction to generate memorable as opposed to grammatical sentences from letter strings of varying lengths. (Editor)

Reich, John W. – Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1974
An analytic procedure was developed for separating the effects of involvement from the number of response language categories the subject employs in judging a set of sentence stimuli. (Editor)

Peterson, Richard G.; McIntyre, Curtis W. – American Journal of Psychology, 1973
The present study was an attempt to clarify the conditions under which integrated recognition memory and specific recognition memory are found. To do this, the ability of students to remember semantically related and unrelated sentences was examined. (Author/RK)

Tzeng, Ovid J. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1975
Subjects learned three different paragraphs and then were tested for their memory after one of the three test intervals. Results showed differential decay functions for recognition and inferential memory. (Editor/RK)

Lawson, Robert – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
Two experiments were conducted in order to investigate the relationship between memory for individual sentences and memory for the holisitic ideas conveyed by those sentences. (Editor)

Davies, Graham; Proctor, John – British Journal of Psychology, 1976
Begg & Paivio (1969) have proposed that while sentences dealing with abstract matters are normally coded in verbal terms, those concerned with concrete events are internalized as imagery. In two experiments, subjects observed both types of sentence prior to carrying out a distractor task which involved either verbal or perceptual coding. (Editor)
