Psycholinguistics: A New Approach
A Condition on Plausible Inducements
Searle's analysis of categorial promises is extended to the case of conditional promises and threats (inducements), and a condition on the pragmatic plausibility of inducements is spelled out in terms of the relation between the value/cost of the act being requested or forbidden and the value/cost of the incentive being offered. Some data comprised of judgments as to the ordinariness/strangeness of a number of different sorts of inducement statem…

Processing and Recall of Compatible and Incompatible Question and Answer Pairs
Anyone who knows a language can tell whether an answer is compatible (C) or incompatible (I) with a question. Subjects were presented with a variety of C and I question and answer pairs and allowed as much time as they required to commit each to memory. It was found that subjects took longer for the initial processing of I items than of C items, with performance on the fastest I sub-class worse than performance on the slowest C sub-class. Neverth…

Recall for Answers to "Conducive" Questions
The phrasing of a question may reveal presumptions as to its answer. In the case of negative Yes-No questions a grammatical analysis suggests that neg + some questions are biased to a " Yes " reply, while neg + any questions are biased to a " No" reply. There are data indicating that, indeed, listeners predominantly believe that the questioner expects a positive answer in the first case, and a negative answer in the second case. The present study…
Memory for Gist: Some Relevant Variables
Using sentences of the form: A is X, B is not X, C is X and D is not X (where X and X are antonyms) a study of gist memory was carried out concerned with evaluating two alternative proposals as to the way in which simple sentences might be remembered, viz. a " kernel " versus a " reading " hypothesis, and seeking to identify two possible variables that might modulate the gist effect, viz. the conceptual nature of the antonymy relation and the pho…
Prior deception and subsequent experimental performance: The "faithful" subject
The Predictability of Words as a Function of Auditory and Contextual Cues
To assess the effects on the predictability of speech of auditory context above and beyond structural environmental context, the “cloze” technique was used with aphasic and normal speech records. It was found both with regard to verbatim and form-class accuracy that subjects who listened to tape recordings while reading printed transcripts of the same utterances performed better than those provided only with the printed transcripts; linguisticall…
Dogmatism and Problem Solving: An Examination of the Denny Doodlebug Problem
This study examined the Denny Doodlebug (DD) problem (a task requiring that S reject a number of the standard operating procedures of daily life and that he organize a new set of assumptions into a working system) by changing the order of presentation of clues. The effects of such change on task performance were considered with reference to Rokeach's formulation on the nature of dogmatism. Reversing the order of clues had some clear, striking eff…
Dogmatism and Individual Differences in Reduction of Dissonance
The relation between individual differences in amount of dissonance reduction and open-closed mindedeness as indexed by Dogmatism score was determined. In line with expectation, a significant correlation was obtained between these variables ( r = .39, p < .01), the more dogmatic Ss showing greater tendency to dissonance reduction. However, a correlation coefficient of comparable size was also obtained in a control condition. Consideration of some…
A Further Study of Grammatical Class as A Variable in Verbal Satiation
Under conditions of continuous elicitation, words functioning as nouns took longer to lose meaning than the same words functioning as adverbs. It was suggested that a word can function more readily as an independent item in a nominal than in an adverbial usage, and that a word is likely to maintain its meaning longer to the extent that it can function as an independent item. This led to the further suggestion that a word should lose meaning more …
Semantic Generalization in Verbal Satiation
An application of "cloze" technique to the study of aphasic speech
Some Linguistic Features of Speech from Aphasic Patients
The free speech of each of twelve adult aphasic patients was examined with reference particularly to (1) the distribution of words according to grammatical function, (2) sequential dependencies in form-class usage, and (3) stereotypy in vocabulary. The majority of the aphasic records departed considerably from normal usage (as defined by analysis of twelve control records), with similarity among some patients in the pattern of divergence. The mea…
Dogmatism and anxiety in relation to problem solving: An extension of Rokeach's results
Evaluational reactions to spoken languages
Regarding language as an identifying feature of a national or cultural group, English and French students were asked to evaluate English-speaking and French-speaking speakers. Bilinguists were used who recorded passages in both French and English. Ss rated on the basis of traits related to desirabil
