Studied semantic representations of drug terms as a function of reported use of illicit drugs, with young-adult industrial workers as the Ss (college students served in a preliminary study). Procedures for describing semantic organizations included the semantic differential, similarity ratings, sorting, and verbal production of drug names. In general, structured representations of drug terms were produced, in line with the categories: illicit drugs, medicinal drugs, alcohol products, and substances containing nicotine or caffeine. Increased drug use was accompanied by more positive evaluations of illicit drugs on the semantic differential and more extensive clustering on the verbal production task. It was concluded that use of illicit drugs is accompanied by distinctive semantic representations, that these patterns mainly involve drugs used illicitly, and that they are most apparent on tasks in which responses are least constrained, such as verbal production.
以年轻成年产业工人为研究对象（大学生参与了初步研究），研究了药物术语的语义表征与报告的非法药物使用情况之间的关系。描述语义组织的程序包括语义差异、相似性评级、分类以及药物名称的言语生成。总体而言，产生了符合以下类别的药物术语结构化表征：非法药物、药用药物、酒精制品以及含尼古丁或咖啡因的物质。药物使用增加伴随着在语义差异上对非法药物更积极的评价以及在言语生成任务上更广泛的聚类。得出的结论是，非法药物的使用伴随着独特的语义表征，这些模式主要涉及非法使用的药物，并且在诸如言语生成等反应限制最少的任务中最为明显。
