| Annotation | The authors conducted a lexical-decision, semantic priming experiment that included 250- and 1000-ms (milliseconds) stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) with 32 probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 40 older normal persons. Attention-based, controlled processes are assumed to occur only at the longer of the two SOAs. The AD group showed greater than normal priming in the long SOA, but not the short SOA condition. The authors conclude that greater than normal AD priming is a function of controlled processing rather than semantic network degradation. |
