Note. Numbers indicate the trial number, "N" denotes normal (uncued) condition, and "C" denotes cued (creative) condition. “Constraint Level” was determined using a median split of the frequency of the most common verb responses, as described in the main text. “Most Common Response” and “Frequency of Most Common Response” values were obtained from an independent sample. Noun stimuli with no constraint level indicated are those items that were removed from all constraint analyses, because the frequency of the most commonly generated verb response for these items was equal to the median value
