Originally published in 1974, this volume presents empirical and
theoretical investigations of the role of meaning in psychological
processes. A theory is proposed for the representation of the
meaning of texts, employing ordered lists of propositions. The
author explores the adequacy of this representation, with respect
to the demands made upon such formulations by logicians and
linguists. A sufficiently large number of problems are encompassed
by the propositional theory to justify its use in psychological
research into memory and language comprehension. A number of
different experiments are reported on a wide variety of topics, and
these test central portions of this theory, and any that purports
to deal with how humans represent meaning. Among the topics
discussed are the role of lexical decomposition in comprehension
and memory, propositions as the units of recall, and the effects of
the number of propositions in a text base upon reading rate and
recall. New problems are explored, such as inferential processes
during reading, differences in levels of memory for text, and
retrieval speed for textual information. On the other hand, a study
of retrieval from semantic memory focusses on a problem of much
current research. The final review chapter relates the present work
to other current research in the area at the time.
