Abstract
We propose that fluent identification of a repeated word is based on a form of episodic memory for the context-specific interpretation applied during the word's initial processing episode

A theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domainspeciSc knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task, providing an alternative to the modal view of automaticity and arguing that novice performance is limited by a lack of knowledge rather than a scarcity of resources.

1,145 Citations1984David A. Balota, James I. Chumbley
It is argued that decision processes having little to do with lexical access accentuate the word-frequency effect in the lexical decision task and that results from this task have questionable value in testing the assumption that word frequency orders the lexicon, thereby affecting time to access the mental lexicon.

Computing formulas are derived for two nonparametric indexes of sensitivity and bias that have been suggested for signal detectability studies, and a relationship is shown between the sensitivity index and P(I), a statistic whose sampling variability is known.

It is concluded that both perceptual and memory tasks rely on the retrieval of memory for whole prior processing episodes but can differ in terms of the number and nature of retrieval cues that they provide.

The results suggest that meaning access is an automatic process which is unaffected by knowledge-based (“top-down”) processing, and whether selective or multiple access of meaning is observed largely depends on the structure of the ambiguous word, not the nature of the context.

The results of the experiments suggest separate contributions of lexical status and presentations to the repetition effect, and a model was developed that outlines the relative contributions of episodic traces for particular events, and of uriitized representations of words in semantic memory, to the repeats in word and nonword identification.

This work tested certain versions of the selective-access hypothesis about the recognition of ambiguous words by having students decide whether selected strings of letters were English words, and found that the reaction time for the third word was not reliably different from a control sequence with unrelated words.
Cognitive PsychologyA discourse on semantic priming
217 Citations1982Donald J. Foss
It was hypothesized that sentence processing involves the construction of a discourse model in which the main topics stay active and words referring to related objects or events will be processed rapidly even if they occur later in the input, i.e., there will be no decay of facilitation.

The general interpretation was that priming produces an alteration in the representation of a word in memory and can facilitate the terminal portion of the memory search process which is assumed to be random.

Activation decay functions were examined in two different tasks: lexical decision and word recognition and found that there are at least three different components of activation: a short-term component that decays with one or two intervening items and that appears to be common to priming and repetition; an intermediate component for repetition in recognition.

The results are interpreted as demonstrating that inhibition effects in the lexical decision task are not on recognition processes; rather they are located at processes operating after recognition of the target has occurred.

This article uses a forced choice procedure to show that prior presentation of an item biases the subject to choose that item but does not improve discriminability, and two models of word identification are examined in light of the bias effects.

69 Citations1986Douglas L. Medin
The argument is made that strategies typically used by experimental participants and exemplar processing have some fundamental properties in common that implies that a good fit to classification data by an exemplar model does not necessarily mean that performance is based on comparisons with remembered exemplars but suggests that abstract representations may not be different kinds of entities from the memory representation of a specific experience.

63 Citations1988Bruce W. A. Whittlesea, Lee R. Brooks
It is concluded that memory preserves information about the details of particular perceptual experiences, and that identification depends critically on the similarity of current demands and processing context to the demands and contexts of particular previous experiences.

Intramodal performance was superior in word identification, whereas intermodal (i.e., picture-word) performance was better in episodic recognition, a reversal which suggests that episodic Recognition involves access to a distinct memory trace.
