Hampton, James A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Two experiments tested a set of predictions regarding category definitions and categorization latencies. Neither prediction was supported by the experiment results, leading to the formulation of an alternative feature-based model of category definitions using the notion of a polymorphous concept.

Clark, Herbert H.; Gerrig, Richard J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1983
Assumptions about comprehension of utterances are challenged in two experiments using as an example the verb phrase "to do a Richard Nixon on a tape" (i.e., erase it). It is argued that creating meanings, as with this phrase, works differently from selecting senses for utterances and that many require a mixture of the two. (MSE)

Whitten, William B.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Each of 464 noun pairs was rated for synonymy on a seven-point scale by college students to provide an extensive set of synonym pairs for use as stimuli in experiments, and to evaluate the effects of word encoding order on perceived synonymy. (SW)

Anderson, Richard C.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
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)

Stanners, Robert F.; And Others – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979
Four experiments were conducted to investigate the memory status of inflectional forms of verbs, irregular past tense words, and adjective and nominal derivatives of verbs. Results indicated that inflections do not have memory representations separate from their base words, but adjective and nominal derivatives and irregular past tense words do.…

Green, D. W. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Two experiments examine the extent to which the representation of a sentence depends upon the overall nature of a subject's task, in this case, memorization of a sentence and providing a continuation for a sentence. (AM)
