{"pk":33279,"title":"Mediated Priming does not Rely on Weak Semantic Relatedness or Local Co-occurrence","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A series of experiments are presented that replicate the mediated priming effect (e.g., lion-stripes) using a naming latency task, and demonstrates that mediated priming does not rely on weak, but direct, semantic relationships or lexical co-occurrence as suggested by McKoon and Ratchff (1992). The magnitude of mediated priming is not negatively correlated with either semantic relatedness or lexical co-occurrence as McKoon and Ratcliff would predict. Furthermore, we show that differences in the contextual nature of the prime - target pairs affects whether or not mediated priming occurs. These findings are discussed in the context of the HAL memory model suggesting a view of \"mediated\" priming that is more consistent with a distributed representational view.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3tt0g32h","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kay","middle_name":"","last_name":"Livesay","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, University of California, Riverside","department":""},{"first_name":"Curt","middle_name":"","last_name":"Burgess","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, University of California, Riverside","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1998-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33279/galley/24339/download/"}]}
