TL;DR: The authors showed that the frequency attenuation effect is a product of the involvement of the episodic memory system in the lexical decision process, which is supported by the demonstration of constant repetition effects for high and low-frequency words when the priming stimulus is masked; the masking is assumed to minimize the influence of any possible episodic trace of the prime.

TL;DR: The authors showed that masked-priming effects in the lexical decision task can be obtained for graphemically related pairs such as bontrast-constrast, but not for four-letter pairs for bamp-CAMP.

TL;DR: In this paper, the same dataset was independently analyzed by 70 teams, testing nine ex-ante hypotheses, and the results showed that analytic flexibility can have substantial effects on scientific conclusions, and demonstrate factors related to variability in fMRI.

TL;DR: The authors showed that strong facilitatory effects of form similarity are readily obtained when the prime is heavily masked and cannot be reported, and that this effect is subject to a special density constraint, namely, that form-priming only occurs for words that have few orthographic neighbors and hence are located in low-density regions of the lexicon.

TL;DR: This article examined whether the differential sensitivity to priming found for cognate and non-cognate translations in the masked primed lexical decision task is also apparent in other tasks such as semantic categoxisation and cued translation.
