Word government means some words are habitually used with certain constructions, which in a sense they control or govern. Because governing words are troublesome--high usage words which have acquired many meanings and usages--tabulating such words and documenting their use pay rich dividends in text processing applications.

The present experiment was designed to provide another experimental analogue of semantic processing without storage available for later retrieval. (Author/RK)

The present experiment showed that after learning a list of unrelated words organized onto subjective groupings, the representation of groupings in DWDs (double-word displays) affected RL (recognition latency) only when both words in a DWD were old. (Editor)

The present research investigated auditory and semantic encoding characteristics of the serial retention paradigm. (Author)

Examines, within a single experiment, whether the conditions exist for drawing a valid inference about the possibility of a word losing its meaning through either visual satiation or visual "and" verbal satiation. Evaluates research by Fillenbaum (1964) and Esposito and Pelton (1969). (Author/RK)

The experiments reported here investigated the influence of two variables upon recognition memory for nouns. (Author/RK)

The present study, by requiring subjects to decide whether the two words in a stimulus pair have the same or different meanings, is an attempt to measure the time necessary to encode a printed word into a representation of its meaning which is available for subsequent matching. (Author)

The purpose of the present paper was to examine and describe the early state of the art of the development of theories of retrieval, one of the important objectives of research on memory. (Author/RK)

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)

This experiment attempts to maximize orthographic while reducing semantic bases for processing by using lists of words from a single category (girl's first names), presenting the first letter as a cue for each word during both study and recall trials, and blocking together all words with the same first letter. (Author)

The aim of the present study was to extend the findings relating to the role of imagery in verbal learning and retrieval to the solution of anagrams. (Author)

A procedure for controlling word encodings tested the effects on recognition memory of acoustic encoding and 2 types of semantic encoding. (Editor)

Paper based on experiment 1 which was presented at the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, St. Louis, Mo., 1972. (RS)

A previous finding that adults recalled more words if the words were drawn from one semantic category than if they were drawn from more than one was confirmed for children down to age five. (Editor)

This article describes two experiments designed to explore the phenomenon of recognition failure of recallable words recently reported by Tulving and Thomson (1973). (Author)
