Abstract
This paper addresses the validity and generality of Becker''s verification strategy theory of context effects in word recognition. An experiment which established the critical manipulation of target predictability from a prime word, without the confounding present in Becker''s experiments, replicated his facilitation and interference dominance priming patterns with a comparably long (1000 msec) interval between the prime and target. With a short (200 msec) prime-target interval, however, the predictability manipulation did not modulate priming. The results indicate that strategies require time and, perhaps, attention to be effective and so refute the claim that strategy-based accounts of priming can replace dual-process models.
