Abstract
The paper describes a process model that addresses several issues not examined in previous treatments of sentence verification, including the verification of sentences expressing the implications of their antecedents. The distinctive features of the model are (1) it is assumed that verification is based upon a focal element in the test sentence; and (2) the focal element is compared only with information that fills the corresponding semantic case in the antecedent representation. Experiment 1 provides support for the predictions of the model for a true—false—don't know task, and Experiment 2 permits the identification of the appropriate version of the model for a true—false—implied task. The model is evaluated with reference to previous work on sentence verification.
