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.

On the relationship between detection and recognition.

TL;DR: Increasing the number of alternative stimuli while maintaining only two response categories was found not to significantly affect detection or recognition performance, contrary to expectations based on the idea of multiple independent detectors.

Decisiones óptimas versus decisiones espontáneas: la toma de decisiones con alternativas multiatributivas

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider synonymy frorn the point of view of semantic memmy network and attribute models and show a high and negative linear relationship between verzfication times and judged synonymity.

Group Diversity and Creativity: Does Anonymity Matter?

TL;DR: It is argued that diverse groups who are visually anonymous – i.e., they make use of the anonymity feature of collaborative technology and have not seen each other – will produce more creative results than homogeneous groups or groups who is diverse but not visually anonymous.

Categorization reaction time, category structure, and category size in semantic memory using artificial categories.

TL;DR: The application of clustering and multidimensional scaling procedures to subjects’ free recall data revealed that subjects had acquired the hierarchical structures but imposed their own structures on the other categories, which were interpreted within a spreading activation framework.

Comprehension Strategies and Lexical Priming

Dennis Norris
- 01 Oct 1984 - 
TL;DR: The authors found that noun-verb-noun sequences are assumed to correspond to ''actor-action-object'' in a sentence classification task, and the results of Experiment 1, in conjunction with the data from a lexical decision task using the same materials (Experiment 2), also provide evidence that even weak semantic relations can produce substantial lexical priming effects during comprehension.

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.
