Welcome to the Semantic Priming Project Homepage

Overview

The Semantic Priming Project (supported by the National Science Foundation) affords access to a large set of lexical characteristics and associative/semantic characteristics, along with behavioral data from visual lexical decision and naming studies of 1,661 words and 1,661 nonwords. In addition, participant characteristics include age, ethnicity, vision, health, reading level, vocabulary, circadian rhythm, and performance on attentional control tasks.

The naming and lexical decision data are currently being collected from four testing Universities. To date, we have collected 431,860 reaction time measurements from 260 subjects in the lexical decision experiment.
