| Abstract: | Describes 2 experiments that manipulated priming condition, repetition, and stimulus clarity. Exp 1 with 87 undergraduates confirmed the additive relationship between semantic priming and word repetition when the time between repetitions was relatively long. Exp 2 with 82 undergraduates limited the number of intervening trials between repetitions (0, 1, 3, 7 trials). Results are interpreted as support for the position that there are 3 components to the repetition effect: sensory, lexical, and episodic. Degradation increased the repetition effect in both experiments without affecting the semantic priming effect. This was interpreted to mean that degradation had its effect late in the information processing sequence. (French abstract) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
