“…The results of Jakobovits and Rice (see Footnote 2) were contrary to the Yelen and Schulz's hypothesis, but at least two of Jakobovits and Rice's variables were confounded, and this confounding could also account for their results. The results of Kasschau (1969) further confused the issue since part of his results were consistent with the regression hypothesis, and part were not. Until such time as positive results can be consistently and unequivocally obtained, controlling all appropriate factors, the semantic differential method of measuring semantic satiation is extremely suspect.…”

“…In a subsequent study, Kasschau (1969) tested three levels of initial meaning intensity (2.5, 1.5, and 0.5 units away from the midpoint of semantic differential scales), three semantic differential factors (Evaluative, Potency, and Activity), and seven levels of repetition duration (0, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, and 120 seconds) in a pre-and postrepetition rating design. Both mean difference scores and polarity difference scores were computed.…”

Studies which have used various measures of meaningfulness to measure semantic satiation, and in other ways have attempted to test the effects of semantic satiation, are critically evaluated. It is concluded that the effects of the phenomenon labeled as semantic satiation have not been reliably measured and are in doubt. An attempt is made to link semantic satiation to what has been called the verbal transformation effect, and an alternative approach to the study of semantic satiation is suggested.

“…Procedures in practice and formal experiments were the same (see Figure 1). Firstly, a word was displayed for 25 s (Kasschau, 1969). To keep the participant’s attention focusing on the word, they were required to press the space key as soon as the word randomly flicked twice during its presentation.…”

Abstract. In order to explore the time course of the influence of gender words semantic satiation on facial gender information processing, the semantic satiation paradigm was used to induce semantic satiation by presenting Chinese gender words “男, 女 (Male, Female)” for a long duration (25 s), with conjunction words “及(And), 且(Moreover)” served as the baseline (the Chinese words and their English translations do not completely equal in terms of pronunciation, form, and sense). Participants were asked to judge whether the two simultaneously presented faces (Experiment 1) or two successively presented faces (Experiment 2) were of the same gender. The results of Experiment 1 showed that the response time in semantic satiation condition was significantly longer than that of the baseline condition. The event-related potential (ERP) results of Experiment 2 showed that the peak amplitude of P1 component in semantic satiation condition was significantly smaller than that of the baseline condition in the early stage of face processing; N170, a specific component of face perception, in semantic satiation condition was significantly larger than that of the baseline condition. The average amplitude of LPC in semantic satiation condition was significantly smaller than that of the baseline condition. This study shows that facial gender information processing is affected by its semantic contextual information. The inhibition effect of gender word semantic satiation on facial gender information processing starts at the attention orientation stage, then continues to the face structural encoding stage, and eventually ends at the advanced cognitive response stage.

“…Pacing for the repetition was provided by a Hunter timer, which activated a speaker connected to a Selmer electronic metronome set to click twice per second. The apparatus for presenting the word to be repeated and the scales on which subsequently to rate the repeated word were as described by Kasschau (1969).…”

Sixty subjects repeated each of six words for 30 seconds, this repetition accompanied by one of three actions (a no-action control or an action concordant or discordant to the repeated word's meaning), as the subject looked or did not look at the accompanying action. Satiation of meaning resulted from discordant actions, generation from concordant actions, and no change with no action. The amount-of-meaning change varied as a function of which semantic differential scale was used, but not as a function of looking or not looking. It was concluded that peripheral activity can influence a word's meaning.
