The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of conceptual relatedness of proper names in failure to notice errors in sentences. We hypothesised that sentences with highly related, but inaccurate proper names may lead to less complete processing than sentences with less related proper names, and hence to failure to notice factual inaccuracies. This hypothesis was investigated in two ways: first, by using inaccurate proper names varying in degree of overlap in attributes with target names; and, secondly, by using a paired-associate learning task in order to strengthen relations. The results indicate that greater overlap between proper names and stronger relations lead to more frequent failures to notice errors in sentences.
