Swinney (1979) found that close associates of both meanings of an ambiguous word are always primed in an immediate lexical decision task. For example, right after encountering the ambiguous word “bug” research participants were quicker to recognize both “ant” (a close associate of the insect meaning of “bug”) and “spy” (a close associate of the listening device meaning) regardless of the context. This supports the _____ model of how we access the appropriate meaning of an ambiguous word. 

Farah & McClelland’s (1991) model of semantic memory impairment uses _____ representations of concepts.

Automatic processes such as word recognition _____.

In McClelland & Rumelhart’s (1981) Interactive Activation model _____.

_____ are the categories (like letters in written language) into which we place speech sounds. They vary from language to language.

If Savin & Perchonock (1965) had found that _____ the derivational theory of complexity would have been falsified.

The /b/ sound in “big” and the _____ differ in manner of articulation.

Farah & McClelland’s (1991) parallel distributed processing model of semantic memory impairment does not include nodes which _____.

If McCloskey and Glucksberg (1979) had found that the presence of highly related negative sentences (e.g., “A bat is a bird.”) attenuates the semantic distance (or typicality) effect, then _____ model of semantic memory would have been confirmed.

The effect of orthographic-phonological regularity on lexical access times is greater for _____ than for _____.
