联想启动发生在大量的记忆提取任务中，包括词汇决定、命名、项目识别和空间位置判断。启动通常被归因于激活的传播或复合提取线索的构建。本文考察了启动的传播-激活和非传播-激活理论的相对能力，以解释多步骤启动的实验结果、不同类型的启动(例如，非词对词)、跨越中间项目的启动、命名任务中的启动以及联想判断的启动。有两个结论是合理的：第一，在对非传播激活理论进行决定性测试之前，必须更详细地说明它们，第二，拒绝传播激活机制还为时过早。
Associative priming occurs in a large number of memory retrieval tasks, including lexical decisions, naming, item recognition, and judgments of spatial location. Priming has been commonly attributed to the spread of activation or to the construction of compound retrieval cues. This article examines the relative abilities of spreading-activation and non-spreading-activation theories of priming to account for experimental results on multiple-step priming, the effects of different types of primes (e.g., nonwords vs. words), priming that spans an intervening item, priming in the naming task, and priming of associative judgments. Two conclusions are justified: First, non-spreading-activation theories will have to be specified in greater detail before definitive tests of them can be made, and second, a rejection of spreading-activation mechanisms is premature.
