Hunt, R. Reed; Ellis, Henry C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The primary purpose of this study is to report the functional relation between recognition memory and degree of semantic contextual change and secondarily, to point out that the obtained relation can be described in terms of alternative theoretical approaches. (Author)

Barron, R. W.; Pittenger, J. B. – Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The present experiment was conducted in order to assess the effects of practice, blocked versus mixed presentation and familiarity on "same"-"different" judgments. (Author)

Peer reviewedRichardson, John T. E. – British Journal of Psychology, 1976
Investigates the properties affecting the time taken to read individual words and to discriminate between words and non-words. (Editor/RK)

Glanzer, Murray; Bowles, Nancy – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
A general decision-theory analysis of the word-frequency effect in recognition memory is carried out. On the basis of the analysis and data from a forced-choice experiment two distinct causes of the frequency effect are defined. (Editor)

Smith, Edward E.; Haviland, Susan E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1972
The influence hypothesis argues that the perceptual superiority of words is due to S's opportunity to use the redundancy in words for making perceptual inferences, while the Unitization hypothesis argues that words are more perceptible because there are fewer units to process in a word than in a nonword.

Walter, Donald A.; Hellebusch, Stephen – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
Two possible modifications of the Bousfield et al. (1958) RR-IAR memory model were proposed to explain why backward associations between critical stimulus and experimental words do not result in increased experimental word false positive rates, while forward associations do. (Author)

PDF pending restorationMackey, W.F.; Savard, J. -G. – 1967
To supplement other lists of most useful words based on such criteria as frequency of usage, range, and availability, this listing measures the capacity of 3,000 words of the French vocabulary to define, extend the meaning of, or to replace other words. Descriptions of the measures of definition, inclusion, extension, and combination are followed…

Peer reviewedFroese, V. – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1975
The purpose of this study was to compare students' tested recognition of the Dolch 220 words with their responses to the 200 highest frequency words found by Kucera and Francis in their Computational Analysis of Present-Day American English (1967). (Author)

Peer reviewedReynolds, James H.; Goldstein, Jonathan A. – American Journal of Psychology, 1974
The present study investigated further the effects of semantic category on speed of matching a target word to words in a memory set. (Author)

Lakner, Edward – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1974
The numerals 2-9 were randomly imbedded at one of three locations within words, pronounceable word fragments, and random sequences of letters which were presented tachistoscopically in random order to 24 Ss in a 3 x 3 repeated measures design. (Editor)

Research was conducted to clarify the previously reported recognition superiority of balanced over polarized homographs. (Editor)

Peer reviewedFischer, Ute – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1994
Investigated the independent and interactive effects of contextual and definitional information on vocabulary learning. German students of English received either a text with unfamiliar English words or their monolingual English dictionary entries. A third group received both. Information about word context is crucial to understanding meaning. (44…
