Instantiation of General Terms
Anderson, Richard C.; And Others
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 15, 6, 667-679, Dec 76
Three experiments investigated the hypothesis that, when interpreted in context, general terms are typically encoded on the basis of an instantiation. Results indicated that a particular term naming the expected instantiation of a general term was a better cue for recall of a sentence than the general term itself. (CHK)
