Abstract
Neuropsychologists use a variety of stimuli to investigate semantic memory functioning. Methodological concerns limit interpretation of performance differences between patients and nonpatient controls. The present study describes the development of a brief measure of semantic memory. Results indicate that this measure of semantic priming provides a brief, yet sensitive, measure of semantic memory. It may prove useful for researchers interested in examining semantic memory processes in cognitively impaired individuals.
