Recognition Memory for Pairs of Words as a Function of Associative Context
Underwood, Benton J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Tests the theory that culturally associated words in a pair and nonassociated words in a pair differ after a single study trial in terms of their frequency representation in memory. (Editor/RK)

Associative Facilitation Without Expectancy in a Lexical Decision Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fischler, Ira – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1977
Subjects were asked to decide if a pair of visually presented letter strings were both words (lexical decision task). Results supported an automatic spread of excitation model of associative facilitation. (Editor/RK)

KOPLIN, JAMES H.; NUNNALLY, JUM C. – 1967
THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO EXAMINE THE EFFECTS OF SEVERAL MEASURES OF WORD-RELATEDNESS ON SEVERAL VERBAL LEARNING TASKS--PRIMARILY PAIRED-ASSOCIATES LEARNING AND VERBAL DISCRIMINATION LEARNING, WITH INCIDENTAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO FREE RECALL AND SEMANTIC GENERALIZATION. THE STRATEGY WAS TO SELECT A SAMPLE OF WORD PAIRS (240 COMMON NOUNS…

Healy, Michael R.; Light, Leah L.; Chung, Christie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
In 3 experiments, young and older adults studied lists of unrelated word pairs and were given confidence-rated item and associative recognition tests. Several different models of recognition were fit to the confidence-rating data using techniques described by S. Macho (2002, 2004). Concordant with previous findings, item recognition data were best…

Early Word Learners' Ability to Access Phonetic Detail in Well-Known Words
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Fennell, Christopher T.; Werker, Janet F. – Language and Speech, 2003
Several recent studies from our laboratory have shown that 14-month-old infants have difficulty learning to associate two phonetically similar new words to two different objects when tested in the Switch task. Because the infants can discriminate the same phonetic detail that they fail to use in the associative word-learning situation, we have…
