Evidence for the Universal Structure of the Child's Cognitive Dictionary
Samples of children and adults in Texas, Taipei, and Kyoto were administered the same free word association list, in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese, respectively. Most of the children, but almost none of the adults, evidenced a primary response mode involving actions (rip-shirt, chair-sit). These results were interpreted as evidence for the probable endogenous construction of a universal child's cognitive dictionary, with a structure der…
Personal and Common Components of Cognitive Dictionaries
Cognitive dictionaries were described as having two separable semantic organizations. One component, structured initially by principles intrinsic to the child's own level of intellect, was defined as the individualistic, or personal, semantic organization involved in verbal thought. The other component was characterized as common to all adults in the same linguistic community. This hypothetical dual-component structure of cognitive dictionaries w…
Note on Cognitive Dictionary Structure of Adult Chinese and on a Piagetian Semantic Universal
Japanese and North American children under 6 years of age recently were reported to evidence very similar free word-association tendencies which, in turn, were extremely different from those of their own parents. In that study (Moran, 1973), associations to a GG-word list were assigned to one of 4 categories: Iconic, e.g., apple-red, beautiful-flower; Enactive, e.g., apple-eat, rip-pants; Functional, e.g., table-chair, tobacco-pipe; Logical, i.e.…

Longitudinal study of cognitive dictionaries from ages nine to seventeen
Association Structures Of Bright Children At Ages Nine And Twelve
The factor structure of free word associations of children, age 9 and 12, was the same as that for adults. Idiodynamic associative sets of 9-year-old children predicted their commonality scores, but not their reaction times. Both of these variables were predicted by the idiodynamic sets of 12-year-old children. It was speculated that idiodynamic associative sets reflect the organization (independent of culture) of the personal word "dictionary" e…
Association Structures of Mental Retardates
Free word associations of low level retardates (I.Q., 48) and higher level (I.Q., 67) retardates were examined for evidence of normal adult word association structures (idiodynamic associative sets). Such structures were found in both groups. The low level group, however, evidenced a factor structure different from that typical of normal adults. From a semantic point of view, associations of the low level group were more "concrete" than those of …
Objective Approximations of Idiodynamic Associative Sets
The differential availability of Perceptual-referent (predication), Object-referent (functional), Concept-referent (synonym or superordinate), and Dimension-referent (contrast or coordinate) associates was determined for a pool of familiar words. From this pool, 28 stimulus words were drawn to construct a multiple-choice form, with one of the four alternate associates appropriate to each of the four sets. One of the four alternates was a “popular…
Critique of “Objective Approximations of Idiodynamic Associative Sets”
Relationship of Association Structures to Verbal Ability
No relationship between verbal ability and idiodynamic associative sets was found in two samples of college freshmen. An earlier finding which related an Object-referent associative set to lower verbal ability was rejected. In the light of Entwistle's recently published results, it was concluded that antecedent conditions related to idiodynamic sets might best be studied in pre-school children or mental retardates
Note on an Object-Referent Associative Set
Repetitive Psychometric Measures
The 20 alternate forms of five psychometric measures (Number Facility, Visualization, Speed of Perception, Speed of Closure, and Flexibility of Closure) were administered to two samples of 544 and 508 college students. All alternate forms but that for Number Facility were found to be reliably different in difficulty level. Statistical weights derived from either sample were found to decrease variability of alternate form means in the other sample…

interviews, and psychomotor or psychophysical measures to assess many of the attributes which are best measured by traditional psychometric techniques. Recently, consuuction was begun on a battery of brief Repetitive Psychometric Measures (RPM) designed specifically for making multiple repetitive measurements on the same individual for extended periods of time (Moran & Mefferd, 1959). The first six tests of the battery provided 20 alternate forms…
