Abstract
Subjects were presented with sets of concrete and abstract sentences in a series of experiments. It was found that in nearly all cases subjects were better at identifying both meaning and wording changes in concrete sentences and subjects took significantly longer to encode and decode the abstract sentences. These results could not be explained in terms of either rated comprehension or lexical complexity. It was suggested that neither a dual-coding interpretation nor a semantic propositional coding model could adequately explain the results; thus an analogue semantic coding model was proposed.
