FIGURE 1.

Four theoretically plausible profiles of the evolution of facilitation at very short stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) for semantically similar (black solid lines) and semantically dissimilar (gray solid lines) morphologically related pairs relative to unrelated pairs (discontinuous lines). (A) Full and instantaneous access to meaning as well as form with no change over SOA. (B) Effects of meaning that increase as SOA increases. (C) Main effect of form and an effect of meaning that is present at the onset but increases over time. (D) Effect of meaning that emerges only after form processing begins.
