Corroborating behavioral evidence for the interplay of representational richness and semantic control in semantic word processing

Abstract This study aimed to replicate and validate concreteness and context effects on semantic word processing. In Experiment 1, we replicated the behavioral findings of Hoffman et al. (Cortex 63,250–266, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2014.09.001 , 2015) by applying their cueing paradigm with t...
