What is semantic diversity and why does it facilitate visual word recognition?

There was no significant difference in semantic diversity between unambiguous and polysemous words ( β < 0.01, SE = 0.01, t = − 0.37, p = 0.7), and while there was a near-significant difference in semantic diversity between unambiguous and homonymous words ( β = − 0.02, SE < 0.01, t = − 1.93, p = 0.05), it was in the opposite of the predicted direction (see Fig. 9 ).
