Comparisons were made of tachistoscopic recognition, paired-associate learning, and free recall by manipulating the variables of word frequency and the degree of abstractness of English words in each of these experimental situations. Concrete words were found to be more readily associated with nonsense syllables and to be better recalled than abstract words, but no such influence obtained for recognition thresholds. High-frequency words lowered thresholds and facilitated paired-associate learning, but had an unclear effect on free recall. In order to clarify some of the obtained relationships, measures of the meaningfulness of concrete and abstract words of high and low frequency were determined. Concrete words were found to have significantly higher meaningfulness scores than abstract; frequency showed a positive relationship to meaningfulnes for the concrete words only.(21 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
