Abstract
We measured Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and naming times to picture targets preceded by masked words (stimulus onset asynchrony: 80 ms) that shared one of three different types of relationship with the names of the pictures: (1) Identity related, in which the prime was the name of the picture (“socks” –
► We measured naming latency and ERPs to target pictures preceded by context words. ► Dissociations between behavior and ERPs depended on word–picture relationships. ► Identity relationships facilitated naming and attenuated the N400 response. ► Phonemic Onset relationships facilitated naming, but had no effect on the ERPs. ► Semantic relationships interfered with naming, but attenuated the N400 response.
