Garrod, Simon; Sanford, Anthony – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Four experiments dealt with integration of semantic information while reading. Reading and comprehension time of two related sentences in a text was analyzed according to their proximity and relation within the text. A model of textual comprehension is proposed. (CHK)

Underwood, Geoffrey – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Listeners shadowed lists of words or parts of sentences, and shadowing latencies were recorded. The effect of attended context was interpreted as a result of strategical manipulation of response bias (a resource-limited process), whereas unattended context may be effective through spreading excitation in semantic memory (a data-limited process).…

Tanenhaus, Michael K.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
A variable time delay naming latency paradigm was used to investigate the processing of noun-verb lexical ambiguities (e.g., "watch") in syntactic contexts that biased either the noun or the verb reading. Results support a two-stage model in which all reading of ambiguous words are initially accessed, followed by suppression of…

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)

Levy, Betty Ann – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
This research investigates the role of speech recoding, particularly its relationship to meaning analysis during reading. Experiment I documents a speech processing conflict; Experiment II analyzes this conflict; and Experiment III demonstrates contributions of speech and meaning processes to reading memory. Results are related to three classes of…
