Analysis of results; interaction with ISIWe manipulated the Inter-Stimulus Interval (ISI) between the offset of the prime and the onset of the target to determine whether the pattern of priming of different embeddings changed over time. ISI was manipulated as a between-participant factor, such that a third of the participants heard stimuli with a random Inter-Stimulus Interval of 200-400 ms, another third of 600-800 ms, and a final third of 1000-1200 ms. The rationale behind the distance manipulation was that it may have allowed us to see whether or not the activation of embeddings is transient. We reasoned that embeddings may still be active immediately after the offset of the carrier word (i.e., at a short ISI), but not after further time has elapsed (i.e., at a longer ISI).
AnalysisWe analyzed effects on log-transformed target RT with linear mixed-effects models, using the lme4 package (Bates et al., 2015, version 1.1-21) in the R environment (R Core Team, 2016, version 3.6.0). As in the analysis reported in the paper, fixed effects were condition (as a 4-level factor: truly suffixed, pseudo-suffixed, non-suffixed, semantically related) and
