Experiment 4: Word-Meaning Priming and Semantic Priming

This experiment is a replication of a previous one carried out by Rodd et al. (2013) where the aim is to test the possible differences in the effects and the time-course of word-meaning priming and semantic priming.

Experiment 4: Word Meaning Priming and Semantic Priming

Built with Experiment

This experiment is a well-powered, preregistered (N=180) replication of a previous one carried out by Rodd et al. (2013). Participants heard prime sentences that disambiguated ambiguous words towards their subordinate meaning (e.g., “The ruler of the country was very popular”). These word-meaning primes were compared to a semantic-priming condition in which synonyms replaced ambiguous words (e.g., “leader”), and an unprimed baseline. A word association task tested whether priming boosted the availability of the primed meaning of the ambiguous words after short (3-minute) or long (20-minute) delays.
