Journal ArticleDOI
A spreading-activation theory of semantic processing
TL;DR: The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facilitation in recognizing pairs of words: Evidence of a dependence between retrieval operations.
TL;DR: The results of both experiments support a retrieval model involving a dependence between separate successive decisions about whether each of the two strings is a word.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory
TL;DR: The authors investigated the possibility that assessment of confidence is biased by attempts to justify one's chosen answer and disregarding evidence contradicting it, and found that only the listing of contradicting reasons improved the appropriateness of confidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The language-as-fixed-effect fallacy: A critique of language statistics in psychological research.
TL;DR: The authors showed that the language-as-fixed-effect fallacy can be avoided by doing the right statistics, selecting the appropriate design, and sampling by systematic procedures, or by proceeding according to the so-called method of single cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The selective impairment of semantic memory.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that this impairment of semantic memory cannot be accounted for by intellectual impairment, sensory or perceptual deficits, or expressive language disorder, and some tentative evidence for the structural basis for a hierarchically organized modality-specific semantic memory system is discussed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of information in word recognition.
TL;DR: The model has as its central feature a set of "logogens": devices which accept information relevant to a particular word response irrespective of the source of this information when more than a threshold amount of information has accumulated in any logogen.
