“…Besides, while nonsignificant differences between pre-and post-satiation ratings were observed in the earlier study (Kanungo & Lambert, 1963), a significant decrease in ratings following satiation is observed in the present study. This observation and the significant interaction effect found in the present study point to some kind of regression effect (Yelen & Schulz, 1963). That is, if the pre-satiation rating of a paralog is relatively intense, the post-satiation rating tends to be less intense.…”

“…It was concluded that semantic satiation effects may be difficult to obtain without the use of such instructions when the semantic differential is employed to measure meaning loss following verbal repetition. Yelen & Schulz (1963), and Schulz, Weaver, & Radtke (1965) have reported failures to obtain the semantic satiation effect described by Lambert & Jakobovits (1960), variously finding little or no meaning loss (satiation), or increased intensity of meaning (generation). These investigators have generally employed procedures closely resembling those of Lambert and Jakobovits, although the scoring method used by Yelen and Schulz differed from that of Lambert and Jakobovits, However, the studies may have varied in at least one aspect of the procedure.…”

“…The latter scores for thirty-eight subjects" were divided at the median, separating them into nineteen fast and nineteen slow learners (FL and SL). Comparison of the mean satiation scores (polarity difference) of the two groups revealed that the FL group had a significantly higher Yelen & Schulz, 1963), the FL group demonstrated semantic generation, and the SL group semantic satiation, However, such a dichotomy is not very meaningful, since each mean was derived from a set of positive and negative polarity-difference scores. The means imply that the F L group displayed stronger resistance to satiation than the SL group.…”

The relation between extent of semantic satiation and trials to learn two verbal conditioning tasks was investigated in a sample of thirty-eight college students. Semantic satiation was measured by polaritydifference scores between rating the words before and after a standard satiation treatment. Trials to reach criterion of learning were combined for the two verbal conditioning tests. The correlation between the satiation and verbal conditioning scores was r = -0.484; the mean satiation scores of the dubjects, dichotomized at the median as fast and slow learners, were also significantly different. These results are consistent with the prediction that facility in verbal conditioning, like susceptibility to hypnosis, depends on resistance to semantic satiation. A subsidiary Ending was a signzcant correlation, r = 0.42, between the two verbal conditioning test scores.The prediction that proficiency in verbal conditioning and resistance to semantic satiation should be positively related was formulated on the basis of results of a recent study (Das, 1 9 6 4~) .Among other things, this experiment investigated the relation between hypnotic susceptibility and semantic satiation, which were found to be strongly correlated. It implied that subjects highly susceptible to hypnosis tend to have low satiation scores. This, together with the finding that hypnotic susceptibility is related to scores on eye-lid conditioning (Das, 1958) and to verbal conditioning (Weiss, Ullman & Krasner, 1960), leads to the anticipation that verbal conditioning, like hypnosis, would correlate with satiation. It is possible that in hypnosis, as in verbal conditioning, a few verbal stimuli are repeated over and over again; anyone for whom these repetitive stimuli cease to act as meaningful signals cannot have high scores either in hypnosis or in verbal conditioning. Thus proficiency in verbal conditioning will depend on how far an individual can attend to the stimuli without becoming satiated. Although the assumption of a relation between verbal conditioning and hypnosis is not necessary for the present study, it nevertheless provides the rationale for the experiment. METHODTasks and procedure. Two verbal conditioning tasks and a test of semantic satiation were administered t o all subjects.One of the verbal conditioning tasks was Taffel's (1955) 'Pronoun test', where on each trial the subject was asked to choose one of four pronouns and the only verb in the past tense that was available, and t o make up a sentence. The test had been used in the past (Das & Mitra, 1962) with one modification, which was that subjects were asked t o make u p a two-word sentence using j u s t one of the pronouns and the verb, whereas in Taffel's study subjects were not restricted t o t h e use of only the two words. Latencies of response will be relatively stable with the Das & Mitra procedure and subjects learn faster than under Taffel's original procedure. Subjects were asked in t h e present study t o make up a two-word sentence, and were given sixty trials in the...
