Comparing different kinds of words and word-word relations to test an habituation model of priming

摘要

Highlights ? The letters of a briefly viewed word can mistakenly blend with the next word. ? Theory: Habituation parses the perceptual sequence to minimize blending. ? Model: Visual, orthographic, and semantic layers all with synaptic depression. ? The model predicts that well-learned letter strings will habituate more quickly. ? Predictions were confirmed by comparing different kinds of words and word pairs. Abstract
