AB - Presents a series of studies investigating the dimension along which words are encoded, using the "release from proactive inhibition" in short-term memory technique. Results indicate that semantic dimensions (taxonomic categories or semantic differential) are highly effective, whereas physical characteristics, i.e., word length or figure-ground colors of the slide presentation are relatively ineffective in releasing proactive inhibition. Results of this technique of measuring encoding are related to other types of experiments on verbal material as well as to the topic of subception and imageless thought. (36 ref.)
