Psychological ReviewA spreading-activation theory of semantic processing.
8,093 Citations1975Allan M. Collins, Elizabeth F. Loftus
The present paper shows how the extended theory can account for results of several production experiments by Loftus, Juola and Atkinson's multiple-category experiment, Conrad's sentence-verification experiments, and several categorization experiments on the effect of semantic relatedness and typicality by Holyoak and Glass, Rips, Shoben, and Smith, and Rosch.
Psychological ReviewFeatures of similarity.
7,287 Citations1977Amos Tversky
The metric and dimensional assumptions that underlie the geometric representation of similarity are questioned on both theoretical and empirical grounds and a set of qualitative assumptions are shown to imply the contrast model, which expresses the similarity between objects as a linear combination of the measures of their common and distinctive features.
Psychological ReviewControlled and automatic human information processing: II. Perceptual learning, automatic attending and a general theory.
7,133 Citations1977Richard M. Shiffrin, Walter Schneider
Tested the 2-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by the current authors (1977) in a series of experiments and demonstrated the qualitative difference between 2 modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search.
Psychological ReviewA theory of memory retrieval.
4,211 Citations1978Roger Ratcliff
A theory of memory retrieval is developed and is shown to apply over a range of experimental paradigms, and it is noted that neural network models can be interfaced to the retrieval theory with little difficulty and that semantic memory models may benefit from such a retrieval scheme.

Psychological ReviewSearch of associative memory.
1,602 Citations1981Jeroen G. Raaijmakers, Richard M. Shiffrin
Search of associative memory posits cue-dependent probabilistic sampling and recovery from an associative network, but the network is specified as a retrieval structure rather than a storage structure.

The results suggest that information to which a witness is exposed after an event, whether that information is consistent or misleading, is integrated into the witness's memory of the event.
Cognitive PsychologyThe abstraction of linguistic ideas
1,283 Citations1971John D. Bransford, Jeffery J. Franks
Results indicate that during an acquisition phase of the experiments, Ss spontaneously integrate the information expressed by a number of non-consecutively experienced (but semantically related) sentences into wholistic, semantic ideas, where these ideas encompass more information than any acquisition sentence contained.

Psychological ReviewChunking and consolidation: A theoretical synthesis of semantic networks, configuring in conditioning, S-R versus cognitive learning, normal forgetting, the amnesic syndrome, and the hippocampal arousal system.
498 Citations1979Wayne A. Wickelgren
Chunking is the basis of semantic memory, configuring in conditioning, and cognitive (as opposed to stimulus-response) learning, and it is shown that disruption of the hippocampal arousal system produces the amnesic syndrome of an inability to do new chunking (cognitive learning)—anterograde amnesia.

484 Citations1976Jan Koch‐Weser, Edward M. Sellers +1 more
Though the therapy of alcoholism is based primarily on social, psychologic and occasionally psychiatric measures, drug therapies have been used in at least three major problems: intoxication itself; the withdrawal reactions that follow interruption of alcohol intake; and emotional problems in the post-withdrawal period that may lead to relapse into heavy drinking.

NeuropsychologiaAmnesia: A disconnection syndrome?
422 Citations1982Elizabeth K. Warrington, Lawrence Weiskrantz
An attempt is made to account for the ability of severely amnesic patients to learn and retain certain tasks but not others, and it is suggested that at the functional level, a "cognitive mediational memory system" and a semantic memory system are disconnected in the amnesia patient.
Memory & CognitionThe cue-dependent nature of state-dependent retrieval
419 Citations1980James Eric Eich
The message of this article is that the unpredictability of state-dependent effects in man is more apparent than real and failures to demonstrate state dependence are restricted to situations in which utilization of stored information is tested in the presence of discretely identifiable retrieval cues.

NeuropsychologiaFurther analysis of the prior learning effect in amnesic patients
290 Citations1978Elizabeth K. Warrington, Lawrence Weiskrantz
Theories of amnesia based on an inability to constrain competing responses are not supported by the findings, and therefore at least some forms of an interference hypothesis will not account for the results, which are likely to reflect some other form of an underlying retrieval deficit.
Memory & CognitionA propositional theory of recognition memory
287 Citations1974John R. Anderson, Gordon H. Bower
The propositional representation is used to interpret effects of verbal context upon recognition memory and the implications of these context effects are considered for two-process models of recall and recognition.
