Page Count:	18
Publication Date:	1977
Descriptors:	Cognitive Processes, Lexicology, Memory, Recall (Psychology), Verbal Learning, Verbal Stimuli, Word Recognition

Results of three experiments in this study suggest lexical information is present and persists in memory representations of meaning. A word-based theory of memory should be preferred over available theoretical alternatives. (CHK)
