Journal Article
Lloyd-Jones, T. J., & Nakabayashi, K. (2014). Long-term repetition priming and semantic interference in a lexical-semantic matching task: object names and colors. Frontiers in psychology Frontiers Research Foundation, 5(JUN), Article ARTN 644. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00644

Using a novel paradigm to engage the long-term mappings between object names and the prototypical colors for objects, we investigated the retrieval of object-color knowledge as indexed by long-term priming (the benefit in performance from a prior enc...
