Develops a theory to specify in part how a person stores and searches through information retained from sentences. The theory states that (1) functional relations, like the abstract subject-predicate relation which underlies sentences, are more available from memory than other, less basic kinds of information;(2) certain" positive" adjectives, like long, are stored in memory in a less complex and more accessible form than their opposites, like short; and (3) listeners can only retrieve, from memory, information which is congruent at a deep level to the information they are searching for. The present theory, unlike previous ones, correctly predicts the principal differences in the solution times of 8 types of 2-term series problems and 32 types of 3-term series problems (eg, If John isn't as bad as Pete, and Dick isn't as good as Pete, then who is worst?). It also accounts for previous observations on children solving these problems and explains other phenomena in deductive reasoning.(46 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
