Conceptual and Associative Processing in Antonymy and Synonymy.

Charles, Walter G.; And Others

Applied Psycholinguistics, v15 n3 p329-54 Sep 1994

Two studies examined college students' ability, when presented with two sequential adjectives, to make relatedness judgments and antonym and synonym judgments. The studies found that judgments were fastest for direct antonyms, even when compared to synonyms of similar relatedness. (Contains 17 references.) (MDM)
