Can CANISO activate CASINO? Transposed-letter similarity effects with nonadjacent letter positions
Article Abstract:
A study to examine whether transposed-letter (TL) similarity effects occur for nonwords created by exchanging two nonadjacent letters, for example caniso-CASINO in three masked form priming experiments using the lexical decision task is presented. Results show that nonadjacent TL primes produce priming effects only when the transposed letters are consonants, which are more difficult than the vowel TL nonwords and the implications of these, for models coding scheme are discussed.

Ambiguity and relatedness effects in semantic tasks: Are they due to semantic coding?
Article Abstract:
A study focuses on the distributed representation assumption inherent in parallel distributed processing (PDP) models to examine ambiguity and relatedness-of-meaning (ROM) effects in lexical decision and semantic categorization tasks. Results suggest that both the ambiguity disadvantage and the ROM advantage in the semantic categorization tasks are due to decision-making, rather than semantic-coding, processes.
