Abstract
Adults were told either to form images for or to learn sentences. A noun-prompted sentence recall task exposed subjects' memory for adjectives modifying either subject or object nouns. Results revealed that subject modifiers were better remembered than object modifiers. Also, adjectives semantically unrelated to verbs were recalled better than adjectives related to verbs. For object modifiers, this appeared to occur because subjects tended to omit adjectives from their productions when verbs imposed these attributes upon the nouns modified. Constructive, interpretative, and associative theories of semantic memory were applied to the results.
