Abstract
One of the most difficult tasks in cognitive research has been that of describing the meaning of a stimulus. Much work has shown that memory for stimuli is predominantly memory for the meaning which the stimulus has for the individual rather than for the elements of its surface form (Bransford & Franks, 1971; Kintsch, 1974). Memory for visual, as well as linguistic stimuli, has been shown to depend upon the meaning of the stimulus (Palmer, 1977). Yet psychologists have had difficulty in specifying exactly what is meant when it is said that a subject remembers “meaning.” In what form is meaning encoded in memory, and is the form of meaning the same or different for linguistic and visual stimuli?
