Document Summary

Trace parallel, fully interactive, nodes at various levels of rep. Cohort parallel, modular, cohort from onset, 2nd stage considers semantics. Words that share onsets with prime leads to faster lexical decision. Eye-tracking while reading or visual world paradigm. This paradigm is when you look at grid with fixation cross in center. Spoken instructions and as you follow these instructions your eyes move throughout the grid (eg. pick up the beaker and put it on the square) Time on x-axis and fixation prob (what proportion of the time in exp were the eyes looking at this particular object) on the y-axis on graph. Target beaker pick up beaker and put next to square . Time 0 word beaker begins so fairly strong rt and fixation prob for beaker category. Blue dots(how often look at beetle) competition between beaker and beetle so these show cohort competition and makes sense according to.
