Description of perceptual and conceptual properties of objects as well as examples of their instantiation as primes and target stimuli in the present study

Perceptual Properties Conceptual Properties
-Based on shared physical attributes -Based on nonphysical attributes

Physically-related primes Categorically-related primes Functionally-related primes

Description: Description: Description:
Lexical concepts semantically related to one another through shared physical features Lexical concepts semantically related to one another through shared categorical features Lexical concepts semantically related to one another through shared functional features not readily physically observed

Example: Example: Example:
Prime = “ball” Prime = “star” Prime = “shine”
Target = “sun” Target = “sun” Target = “sun”
