概念表征和主题关系之间的联系在语义记忆的组织中起着重要的作用。然而，关于语义语境效应的语言产生研究表明，联想（例如，狗和骨头）和范畴关系（狗和马）似乎是分歧的。虽然范畴语境通常会引起语义干扰，传统上被认为是反映竞争性词汇选择，可比较的联想调制的证据是罕见的。在三个实验中，我们测试了对象之间的主题关联是否会在连续命名范式中引起累积干扰，假设这种范式通过激活高度活跃的词汇队列稳步增加规模来阻碍词汇选择。事实上，命名时间线性增加与每个新命名的主题上下文的成员，无论前激活的协会命名任务（实验1），无论是否分类链接部分包括（实验1和2）或完全不存在（实验3）。这些发现表明，不同类型的语义关系诱导干扰。
Associations between conceptual representations and thematic relations play an important role in the organization of semantic memory. However, language production research on semantic context effects shows that associative (e.g., dog and bone) and categorical relations (dog and horse) seem to diverge. While categorical contexts typically induce semantic interference that has traditionally been taken to reflect competitive lexical selection, evidence for comparable associative modulations is rare. In three experiments we tested whether thematic associations between objects induce cumulative interference in the continuous naming paradigm, assuming that this paradigm hampers lexical selection via the activation of highly active lexical cohorts steadily increasing in size. Indeed, naming times increased linearly with each newly named member of thematic contexts irrespective of the pre-activation of associations before the naming task (Experiment 1), and irrespective of whether categorical links were partially included (Experiments 1 and 2) or entirely absent (Experiment 3). These findings demonstrate that different types of semantic relations induce interference.
