Stimulus set, response set, and word identification.

Visual vs. verbal stimulus set in a letter-classification task

“…However, if one accepts the proposition that A' is a reflection of perceptual processes and B'H of response processes, then Experiments I-III demonstrated that set can affect both. Other recent experiments have reached a similar conclusion (e.g., Ornstein & Winnick, 1968;Skanes & Donderi, 1973;Winnick & Daniel, 1970).…”

Frequency of occurrence and concreteness ratings of homograph meanings

“…Most of the uses center around the fact that homographs can be encoded in different ways. Because of this feature, homographs make excellent stimuli for experiments on set or priming (e.g., Cramer, 1968;Skanes & Donderi, 1973), encoding specificity (e.g., Goldstein, Schmitt, & Scheirer, 1978;Light & Carter-Sobell, 1970;Winograd & Conn, 1971), transfer (e.g., Hastroudi & Johnson, 1976Muller, Brown, & Kausler, 1975), imagery (e.g., Begg & Clark, 1975), frequency estimation (e.g., Geis & Winograd, 1975;Rowe, 1973), clustering (e.g., Kausler & Kamichoff, 1970), and cerebral laterality (Wollen, Cox, Coahran, & Shea, Note 1).…”

Image generation in a letter-classification task

“…The experiments reported here investigated this question. It is of interest because accuracy data obtained under marginal viewing conditions and reaction times obtained under relatively favorable viewing conditions do not always yield similar results for a given independent variable (e.g., Skanes & Donderi, 1973).…”
