Abstract: Unconventional discourse is a noteworthy feature in schizophrenia. Semantic priming methodology underlies the influential theory that abnormalities accessing semantic representations — through spreading activation within a network — are the core mechanism for subsequent problems forming meaningful and coherent speech (Goldberg and Weinberger, 2000). These tasks demonstrate faster responses to words (“orange”) preceded by associated words (“lemon”) than unrelated words (“desk”).
