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.

A Reconstruction Paradigm for the Experimental Analysis of Semiotic Factors in Cognitive Processing

Gary D. Shank
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare cognitive processing in psychology and semiotics in relation to language processing and memory, and present a paradigm based on the study of active reconstruction of verbal messages from their semiotic representations in memory.

Semantic distance in memory structure: The retrieval of conceptual relationships

TL;DR: This article showed that the number of intervening links is a more consistent predictor of RT than associative measures of semantic relatendness and confirm strong linearity effects consistent with a hierarchical model of storage.

Cognitive Processing of Verbal Quantifiers in the Context of Affirmative and Negative Sentences: a Croatian Study

TL;DR: In this paper, a picture-sentence verification task was used to investigate the processing of different types of quantifiers in Croatian, and the results showed that non-universal and null quantifiers, as well as negations were processed significantly slower compared to affirmative sentences.

High-Speed Scanning in Human Memory

Saul Sternberg
- 05 Aug 1966 - 
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

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

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.
