TABLE 2.

Summary of the “coordinate across levels” studies. In the coordinate condition the distractor word (e.g., tulip) is semantically related to the picture target (“rose”) and the response is located at a different level of categorisation (e.g., “flower”). In the unrelated condition the distractor (e.g., car) is semantically unrelated to the target picture. The reported data corresponds to the condition SOA –0 ms, see main text for details. Effect size corresponds to RTsCoordinate condition minus RTsUnrelated condition
