The Microgenesis of Priming Effects in Lexical Access
Abstract
The implications of priming experiments for a structural theory of the mental lexicon depend critically on the development of an adequate theory of the mechanics of priming. Masked priming techniques may simplify this task, since consciously perceived relationships play no role in masked priming. The implications of adopting an activation-based approach to morphological priming is discussed, and an alternative model is described.

Priming can reveal the nature of the connection between two units or the existence of shared representations.
“Aspects of word meanings are reflected in the topography of brain activation and priming corresponds to a transfer of activation between two lexical representations and can reveal the nature of the connection between the two units or the existence of shared representations [76].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
