Theories of language production and comprehension typically propose that word retrieval involves the selection of at least two levels of lexical information, semantic representations and word-forms (phonological and orthographic representations). The results from five experiments tested whether semantic and word-form representations are shared between production and comprehension or separate. The experiments used a variation of the standard priming task, with word-pairs as the primes and pictures as the probes. The same probe pictures were used in all of the experiments.

Experiment 1 demonstrated repetition priming for both produced and ignored primes, demonstrating that the ignored primes were processed.
