Verbal Information Processing Paradigms: A Review of Theory and Methods

Abstract

The theory and research methods of selected verbal information processing paradigms are reviewed. Work in factor analytic, information processing, chronometric analysis, componential analysis, and cognitive correlates psychology is discussed. The definition and measurement of cognitive processing operations, stores, and strategies involved in performance on verbal test items and test-like tasks is documented. Portions of the reviewed verbal processing paradigms are synthesized and a general model of text processing is presented. The model was used as a conceptual framework for subsequent analyses of the construct and predictive validity of the verbal subtests of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. Keywords include: Information processing; Cognitive psychology, Verbal processing.
