Prior research has found significant associative/semantic priming effects at very short stimulus-onset asynchronies (SOAs) in experimental tasks such as lexical decision, but not in naming tasks (however, see Lukatela and Turvey, 1994). In this paper, the time course of associative priming effects was analyzed a several very short SOAs (33, 50, and 67 ms), using the masked priming paradigm (Forster and Davis, 1984), both in lexical decision (Experiment 1) and naming (Experiment 2). The results show small--but significant--associative priming effects in both tasks. Additionally, using the masked priming procedure at the 67 ms SOA. Experiments 3 and 4, shows facilitatory priming effects for both associatively and semantically (unassociated) related pairs in lexical decision and naming tasks. That is, automatic priming can be semantic. Taken together our data appear to support interactive models of word recognition in which semantic activation may influence the early stages of word processing.
先前的研究发现，在诸如词汇判断等实验任务中，当刺激呈现间隔（SOA）非常短时，会出现显著的联想/语义启动效应，但在命名任务中则不然（不过，见卢卡特拉和特维，1994）。在本文中，使用掩蔽启动范式（福斯特和戴维斯，1984），在几个非常短的SOA（33、50和67毫秒）下，对词汇判断（实验1）和命名（实验2）任务中的联想启动效应的时间进程进行了分析。结果表明，在这两个任务中都存在小但显著的联想启动效应。此外，在67毫秒的SOA下使用掩蔽启动程序，实验3和实验4表明，在词汇判断和命名任务中，联想相关和语义（不相关）相关的词对都有促进性启动效应。也就是说，自动启动可以是语义性的。综合来看，我们的数据似乎支持单词识别的交互模型，其中语义激活可能会影响单词处理的早期阶段。
