Speed and Accuracy in the Processing of False Statements About Semantic Information.

Ratcliff, Roger

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, v8 n1 p16-36 Jan 1982

A standard reaction time procedure and a response signal procedure were used on data from eight experiments on semantic verifications. Results suggest that simple models of the semantic verification task that assume a single yes/no dimension on which discrimination is made are not correct. (Author/PN)
