Where this record's text came from. cited by the priming manuscript; metadata resolved from Crossref. NOT tagged: full text not held, so no grounded tags are asserted. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (pdftext); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. The source is heavily corrupted OCR of a 1970 two-page note — the abstract and parts of the method and discussion are word-salad (e.g. 'MICHEr PII:RRI: fANISSI:', 'ratet! Three sources of stimulus illput'). Every quote here was chosen from the intact stretches and substring-checked, including the OCR typo 'eondition' in the first limitation, which is left exactly as printed. Replication status is 'replicated' because this paper IS the successful replication of Zajonc (1968) rather than an untested new claim. The 'extends' relation is anchored on a consistency statement in the Discussion; the extension itself (deleting one aural input) is stated in the intact Method text but only in garbled sentences, so the cleaner Discussion sentence was used. 2026-08-25 schema-0.3 pass: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node. Update, 16 September 2026: SUPERSEDED SENTENCE, MARKED NOT DELETED: the sentence above beginning "NOT tagged: full text not held" DESCRIBES THIS RECORD AS IT WAS IN AUGUST 2026 AND NO LONGER DESCRIBES IT. This record now carries 28 live grounded quote fields, each verified against the locally held text named in the faceting pass that follows it in this same note. The August sentence is kept because it is a true record of that dated pass and deleting it would destroy the provenance trail; it is marked here as superseded because a reader meets both sentences in one paragraph and the earlier one is the stale half. NOTHING ABOUT THE QUOTES CHANGED - only the note now says which of its own sentences is current.
How to read this page. The article itself is not reproduced here — this paper is not cleared for redistribution, so what follows is the tag layer alone. The evidence sentences are withheld with the article. The table at the foot lists every tag the record carries; each row names the facet it belongs to, and the whose words column says whether the tag records the paper's own wording or the tagger's sentence about the paper. Every tag links to each other paper in the corpus carrying it. The machine-readable edition of the same thing is the TEI file beside this one, where the tags live in standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.

Tags on this paper

Every tag the record carries, each linking to every other paper in the corpus that carries it. A tag appears here whether or not its words occur in the article — the spans below are only the ones a sentence in this paper licenses.
Removing one input channel lowers the subject's familiarity with the stimulus, which depresses the rated goodness of its meaning Each of the three input sources (seeing, hearing E, hearing oneself) counts as an exposure, so deleting one cuts effective exposure frequency by a third and should weaken enhancement exposure frequency order of presentation ANOVA Analysis of variance t-test An overall t test mean Average rated "goodness"-of-meaning p-value behavioural-experiment

The paper

The full text is not reproduced here. This article is not cleared for redistribution, so the page carries the tag layer only. Its evidence sentences are withheld; the grounding status remains with each tag, and the article itself is at https://doi.org/10.3758/bf03337428. The reading view exists for the papers whose licence permits it.

This record holds no relations between concepts or senses of a term. A layer is empty when the tagger recorded nothing in it — which is not the same as the paper having nothing to record.

What was deliberately not tagged, and why, is recorded per paper by the tagger. Where a paper has no such record, this page says so rather than implying that nothing was declined.
