Abstract

Effects of four types of context on sentence processing time and recall are examined. The results are consistent with Bransford and Johnson’s (1972, 1973) view that thematic or referential contexts facilitate comprehension by helping S to gain access to relevant prior knowledge. The results also suggest that context can speed sentence processing without influencing the semantic interpretation of the input.
