Priming Effects in Semantic Memory Retrieval Processes.

Brown, Alan S.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, v5 n2 p65-77 Mar 1979

The effects of semantic (S), orthographic (O), and unrelated (U) verbal stimuli on word retrieval were examined. S stimuli inhibited locating items within categories, whereas U stimuli inhibited locating the appropriate category. The discrepancy between the present outcome and the previous finding of S prime retrieval facilitation is discussed. (Author/CP)
