Bilingual memory for related and unrelated sentences.

Minimum description length model selection of multinomial processing tree models

“…The total sample size is implication of this conclusion is that semantic information is useful in the recognition task but does not include any information about language source. Essentially the same conclusion as ours was reached by both Rose et al (1975) and Batchelder and Riefer (1990). Although this particular example may be somewhat disappointing, one should note that generally speaking, FIA-based model-selection analysis allows one to entertain and evaluate all types of theoretical hypotheses of interest and that the effort is in turn likely to generate much richer and deeper insights into the underlying cognitive processes than analyses based on traditional methods such as LRT and ANOVA.…”

“…On the basis of an ANOVA of the data, Rose et al (1975) concluded that there was no significant difference between the two treatment conditions. Batchelder and Riefer (1990, Tables 7 and 8) reanalyzed the same data with model 1HTM 4, shown in Figure 2, which can distinguish the effect of item detection from that of source discrimination.…”

“…In addressing the theoretical issue raised in Rose et al (1975) and Batchelder and Riefer (1990) r J 12 r J 24 , or both, to embody the theoretical hypotheses concerning the order of those parameters. Such constraints do not change the number of parameters in the model, but they may lead to a larger LML value, because the maximum likelihood is searched over the restricted and thus smaller parameter space.…”

“…On the sented in a particular language retains a language-specific tag. Source-monitoring experiments were conducted to differentiate these theories (e.g., Rose, Rose, King, & Perez, 1975;Saegert, Hamayan, & Ahmar, 1975), and these theories, as represented by their corresponding source-monitoring MPT models (to be elaborated on in the next section) that assume different treatment effects on their parameters, can be compared by model selection (Batchelder & Riefer, 1990). Similarly, other theoretical issues in cognitive psychology, such as sequential versus nonsequential processes and automatic versus control processes, can also be addressed by comparing MPT models with different tree structures (e.g., Bishara & Payne, 2008;Schweickert, 1993).…”

Surface information loss in comprehension

“…Similarly, bilinguals' memory for the language in which a word was originally spoken was considerably poorer when the words composed a unified sentence rather than an unrelated list (Saegert, Hamayan, & Ahmar, 1975; see also Rose, Rose, King, & Perez, 1975).…”
