DeWolfe, Alan S.; Fedirka, Paul J. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1978
Assessed the effect of associative (response) interference on the word associations of male and female process and reactive schizophrenics in two studies that used the difference in associative disturbances between high and low interference (low and high commonality stimulus words) as the measure. Findings supported predictions from a qualitative…

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)

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)

Warren, Robert E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1977
The time course of the spread of activation in lexical memory was studied using naming latency as the measure of activation in a variable-duration priming paradigm. (Editor)

Kleiman, Glenn M. – 1979
Two experiments explored whether the facilitatory effect of context on lexical decisions is limited to words subjects generated when given the context as a prompt in a production task, or if the effect is wider in scope. The first experiment provided evidence of a wide scope of facilitation from single word contexts. In the second experiment, the…

Asher, Steven R. – Proceedings, 80th Annual Convention, APA, 1972, 1972
Research was conducted to determine the degree to which sampling vs. comparison processes account for age changes in referential communication. Children at three different grade levels communicated referents within related and unrelated word pairs. The word pairs used were from Cohen and Klein (1968). From their list of 30 related pairs, half were…

Mackey, 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…

Murray, David J. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1986
A study analyzing word characteristics that make them more easily translated from English to French (or vice versa) indicates that translation efficacy is most strongly influenced by the frequency of the word in the language, its familiarity, and the similarity of the French equivalent to the English word.
