Abstract
Forty-eight males and 48 females repeated either the test word (experimental) or a nonsense syllable (control) under different speeds and durations for semantic satiation in a “posttest only” design, with no pre-repetition word associations or semantic differential ratings. No experimental satiation was noted in number of associations and frequency of first associate, and experimental generation was surprisingly found in semantic ratings.
