TLDR
This article measured the reaction time (RT) of true-false decisions about two kinds of logical assertions while varying the set relation and sizes of the semantic categories S and P, and concluded that at least two types of information about semantic categories, names of categories they intersect and representations of their attributes, are stored in memory.About:

Recognition confusions among quantifiers
Keith J. Holyoak,Arnold L. Glass +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that the degree of confusion between any two quantifiers (measured by both mean certainty ratings and first choice frequencies) declined monotonically with the separation of the two terms in a linear order.

Real-world variability, reasonableness judgments, and memory representations for concepts
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the common attribute-value representation for knowledge about concepts was examined in two experiments, and the results did not support a discrete value representation or decision model for concepts.

Principles of Learning: A Conceptual Framework for Domain-Specific Theories of Learning
TL;DR: Weibell et al. as discussed by the authors present a conceptual framework for domain-specific theories of learning, which is based on the belief that there does not now exist, nor will there ever exist, any single theory of learning that is broad enough to account for all types of learning yet specific enough to be maximally useful in practical application.

High-Speed Scanning in Human Memory
TL;DR: When subjects judge whether a test symbol is contained in a short memorized sequence of symbols, their mean reaction-time increases linearly with the length of the sequence, implying the existence of an internal serial-comparison process.

The discovery of processing stages: Extensions of Donders' method
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stage-durations may be additive without being stochastically independent, a result that is relevant to the formulation of mathematical models of RT.

Retrieval time from semantic memory
Allan Collins,M. Ross Quillian +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a true-false reaction-time task were found to support the hypothesis about memory organization that a canary is a bird and birds can fly.

Retrieval time from semantic memory
Allan Collins,M. Ross Quillian +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two possible organizations of long-term memory were proposed: the first one is to store only the generalization that birds can fly, and the second is to infer that a canary is a bird from the stored information that canary can fly.
