Abstract

We present data and review studies that show a dissociation between identity and semantic priming. This dissociation appears as a result of employing certain prime tasks, adding cognitive load or following brain damage. Such a dissociation suggests that while activation of the word's representation is obligatory, the spread of activation to related concepts is not.
