TABLE 1.
Overview of priming results (response times) for prime words paired with strongly vs weakly related target words
| rvf–LH2 significant priming (effect size)4 |
lvf–RH3 significant priming (effect size) |
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Study | Strong vs weak semantic relationship between prime and target | RP1 | Strong | Weak | Strong vs weak | Strong | Weak | Strong vs weak |
| Chiarello et al., 1990 | Associated vs non-associated category coordinates | .25 | yes | yes | s=w5 | yes | yes | s=w6 (26 ms difference) |
| Chiarello et al., 1992 | Associated vs non-associated category coordinates | .70 | yes | yes | s>w | yes | yes | s=w |
| Nakagawa, 1991 | Antonyms vs remote associates | .50 | 85 ms7 (1.11) | 28 ms (.33) | 57 ms (.78) | 57 ms (.54) | 20 ms (.17) | 37 ms (.36) |
1
Relatedness proportion (# related targets/# word targets).
2
Right visual field/left hemisphere.
3
Left visual field/right hemisphere.
4
Significant effect according to priming measure (response time unrelated – response time related prime–target pairs). Effect sizes (d=priming/standard deviation) are reported in parentheses when available.
5
s=strong, w=weak.
6
It is not quite clear whether the relevant significance test was performed, effect size not calculable.
7
No significance testing available for priming measure, therefore priming effects are reported in milliseconds.
