Task conditions. Words in quotation marks were presented as auditory probes and did not appear on the screen. The non-semantic easy task involved rhyme judgement, while the non-semantic hard task involved phoneme segmentation – in this example, participants were instructed to strip the final sound from the probe and use it to create a word from one of the possible targets. The semantic tasks involved association matching, with either words or pictures. Easy trials involved strong associations, while hard trials involved weaker associations.
