Note. RT = reaction time; LD = lexical decision; SC = semantic categorization; NumNear = number of near neighbors; MeanCos = mean cosine; PropCorrPairs = proportion of significantly correlated feature pairs; NumAssoc = number of associates; COALS = Correlated Occurrence Analogue to Lexical Semantic, mean distance within set; COAL-S_all = mean distance among all items.
