Note. RT = reaction time; SND = semantic neighborhood density; 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; COALS_all = mean distance among all items.
