Does LGHT prime DARK? Masked associative priming with addition neighbors.

Memory & Cognition, in Press Does LGHT prime DARK? Masked associative priming with addition neighbors

Associative and repetition priming with the repeated masked prime technique: no priming found.

Wentura and Frings (2005) reported evidence of subliminal categorical priming on a lexical decision task, using a new method of visual masking in which the prime string consisted of the prime word flanked by random consonants and random letter masks alternated with the prime string on successive refresh cycles. We investigated associative and repetition priming on lexical decision, using the sa...

(QuarterlyJournal of Experimental Psychology, in press) Are coffee and toffee served in a cup? Ortho-phonologically mediated associative priming

We report three masked associative priming experiments with the lexical decision task that explore whether the initial activation flow of a visually presented word activates the semantic representations of that word’s orthographic/phonological neighbors. The predictions of cascades and serial/modular models of lexical processing differ widely in this respect. Using a masked priming paradigm (SO...

Masked and unmasked priming effects as a function of semantic relatedness and associative strength.

The study presented in this paper aimed to investigate the pattern of semantic priming effects, under masked and unmasked conditions, in the lexical decision task, manipulating type of semantic relation and associative strength. Three different kinds of word relations were examined in two experiments: only-semantically related words [e.g., codo (elbow)-rodilla (knee)] and semantic/associative r...

ERP Effects of Short Interval Masked Associative and Repetition Priming.

In a previous study we used event-related potentials to dissociate semantic (associative) and repetition priming when prime words were masked below (40 ms primes) and above (80 and 120 ms primes) levels of awareness (Holcomb et al., 2005). While robust priming effects were present on the N400 component regardless of the prime duration in the repetition priming experiment, in the semantic primin...
