  • Title: Integration of orthographic, conceptual, and episodic information on implicit and explicit tests.
    Author: Weldon MS, Massaro DW.
    Journal: Can J Exp Psychol; 1996 Mar; 50(1):72-86. PubMed ID: 8653099.
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted to determine how orthographic and conceptual information are integrated during incidental and intentional retrieval. Subjects studied word lists with either a shallow (counting vowels) or deep (rating pleasantness) processing task, then received either an implicit or explicit word fragment completion (WFC) test. At test, word fragments contained 0, 1, 2, or 4 letters, and were accompanied by 0, 1, 2, or 3 semantically related words. On both the implicit and explicit tests, performance improved with increases in the numbers of letters and words. When semantic cues were presented with the word fragments, the implicit test became more conceptually drive. Still, conceptual processing had a larger effect in intentional than in incidental retrieval. The Fuzzy Logical Model of Perception (FLMP) provided a good description of how orthographic, semantic, and episodic information were combined during retrieval.
