Participants read lists of words and then made recognition judgments to pairs of words, each of which consisted of a prime word and a test word. At issue was the effect of a semantic relationship between the prime word and the test word on the recognition judgment to the test word. Under standard recognition conditions, semantic priming impeded correct recognition judgments to new test words and had no effect on recognition judgments to old test words. The overall effect was to reduce the level of discrimination for recognition judgments to the test word. Under conditions in which familiarity assessment would be expected to play a greater role in judgments to old test words, semantic priming facilitated those judgments. The results are explained in terms of a dual process account of recognition.

识别语义相关词后识别判断的歧视水平降低

参与者阅读单词列表，然后对单词对进行识别判断，​​每个单词由一个主要单词和一个测试单词组成。争论的焦点是素词和测试词之间的语义关系对测试词的识别判断的影响。在标准识别条件下，语义启动阻碍了对新测试词的正确识别判断，​​对旧测试词的识别判断没有影响。总体效果是降低识别判断对测试词的歧视水平。在熟悉度评估在对旧测试词的判断中发挥更大作用的条件下，语义启动促进了这些判断。结果用双重过程的承认解释。
