If McCloskey and Glucksberg (1979) had found that the presence of highly related negative sentences (e.g., “A bat is a bird.”) attenuates the semantic distance (or typicality) effect, then _____ model of semantic memory would have been confirmed.

In a sentence verification task, the presence of highly related negative items such as “A bat is a bird” and “A dolphin is a fish” _____. This finding falsifies Smith, Shoben & Rips (1974) feature based model of semantic memory.

Warrington & Shallace (1984) found that while some neurological patients are able to name members of natural, biological categories (e.g., “dog” or “apple”) but have difficulty naming human artifacts (e.g., “hammer” or “shirt”), others exhibit the exact opposite pattern. This is an example of a _____.

If Neisser (1967) had found that it takes longer to search for two target letters than to search for just one, then PANDEMONIOUM’s assumption that letter recognition is _____ would have been disconfirmed.

Swinney (1979) found that close associates of both meanings of an ambiguous word are always primed in an immediate lexical decision task. For example, right after encountering the ambiguous word “bug” research participants were quicker to recognize both “ant” (a close associate of the insect meaning of “bug”) and “spy” (a close associate of the listening device meaning) regardless of the context. This supports the _____ model of how we access the appropriate meaning of an ambiguous word.
