Is semantic priming influenced by capacity?

The experiment reported here examined the following two general hypotheses: 1) latencies are longer for lexical-decision tasks than they are for naming task due to the increased capacity demands of the lexical-decision task, and 2) priming found with the keypress task is greater than the priming found with the vocal tasks due to facilitatory activation of the left hemisphere, leading to enhanced right-hand responding for expected stimuli.
