Question 2

Luo, Johnson, & Gallo (1998) tested whether pseudohomophones (e.g., brane) would show effects of semantic relatedness. In other words, would the letter string brane prime a related concept (e.g., neuron)? What did they find?

a) That access to the mental lexicon was most probably direct.
b) Pseudohomophones primed only the actual word (e.g., brain, in this example).
c) Pseudohomophones did not prime related concepts.
d) Pseudohomophones did prime related concepts.
