Levels of processing were manipulated as a function of acquisition task and type of recognition test in three experiments to show that semantic acquisition was superior to rhyme acquisition given a standard recognition test, whereas rhyming acquisition was inferior to semantic acquisition givenA rhyming recognition test.

It was suggested that regardless of interpretation this method provides a means of investigating the internal processes underlying concrete verbal reference and forces the subject to deal with information in a more exclusively verbal form than does listening.

Successful odor identification depends on (i) commonly encountered substances, (ii) a long-standing connection between an odor and its name, and (iii) aid in recalling the name.

Sensitivity for auditory and visual signals in a simple detection task and in a related task in which ,9 was also imaging mental pictures and sounds are compared to suggest that imagery functions as an internal signal which is confused with the external signal.

College-age and elderly women first sought to discriminate among common odors and found that the elderly persons failed much more frequently than the young and did benefit from corrective feedback with the true names for the smells.

Recognition performance was best when the subjects free associated to the name of the target odorant during the retention interval, which indicates that the memory code for odors may incorporate semantic information.

69 Citations1978Mark A. McDaniel, Alinda Friedman +1 more
Performance on recall and auditory recognition tests replicated the general finding that semantic processing leads to better retention of words than does nonsemantic processing, suggesting that the effectiveness of a particular kind of processing for good memory performance depends on the kind of information being tested.

The sense of smell is not as well suited to the PA task as vision when essentially naive subjects are involved, and PA acquisition was facilitated by the use of highly familiar odors.

25 Citations1978James Eric Eich
Results of the present experiment suggest that specific encoding of a word is not a necessary condition for cue effectiveness, and implies that the effect of a nominal fragrance cue arises through the mediation of a functional, implicitly generated semantic cue.
