How does the philosophical problem about mental processes and states… arise? The first step is the one that altogether escapes notice. We talk of processes and states and leave their nature undecided. Sometime perhaps we shall know more about them–we think. But that is just what commits us to a particular way of looking at the matter.(Wittgenstein, 1953, § 308)Retrieving words from the mental lexicon is generally conceptualized as a selection process, in which a central “lexical selection” mechanism adjudicates, through some rule or function or stochastic process, which of the many activated words will be prioritized for further processing. By “central” is meant that the selection mechanism functionally operates as a bottleneck, in that representations must be processed (in some way) by that mechanism in order to be prioritized for further processing. Historically, the different mechanisms of selection that have been proposed have emphasized different types of empirical evidence. The hypothesis of “selection by competition” emphasized observations of slower naming latencies and higher error rates when pictures are named in the context of within semantic-category coordinates, compared to semantically unrelated contexts (for discussion, see Damian & Bowers, 2003; La Heij, 1988; Schnur, Schwartz, Brecher, & Hodgson, 2006). The argument from semantic interference to lexical competition is that contexts that increase the activation of non-target words lead to a longer and noisier comparison process at selection, which translates to longer production times and/or lower accuracy. Noncompetitive models of lexical selection were initially developed to explain the types and distributions of errors
