Transfer effects in repetition priming were found with both picture and word naming, but varied with the type of prime list. Unmixed lists of word or picture primes produced equivalent intra-modal and cross-modal repetition priming in both picture-naming (Experiment 1) and word-naming (Experiment 5) tasks. However, mixing word and picture primes resulted in greater intra-modal than cross-modal priming for both picture-naming (Experiment 2) and word-naming (Experiment 6) tasks. This mixed-list difference between intra-modal and cross-modal priming was reduced by blocking prime types at input (Experiment 3). These findings suggest that differences in priming as a function of prime stimulus format should be cautiously interpreted when mixed prime lists are used.
在图片和单词命名任务中均发现了重复启动效应中的迁移效应，但该效应随启动刺激列表的类型而变化。在图片命名任务（实验1）和单词命名任务（实验5）中，单词或图片启动刺激的纯刺激列表会产生等效的模态内和跨模态重复启动效应。然而，对于图片命名任务（实验2）和单词命名任务（实验6），单词和图片启动刺激混合的情况会导致模态内启动效应大于跨模态启动效应。通过在输入时对启动刺激类型进行分组，减少了模态内和跨模态启动效应之间的这种混合刺激列表差异（实验3）。这些发现表明，当使用混合启动刺激列表时，应谨慎解释启动效应随启动刺激格式的差异。
