Disentangling Semantic Composition and Semantic Association in the Left Temporal Lobe.

The mixed-effects regression analysis revealed a significant effect of association for accuracy and a marginally significant effect for reaction time, where higher association between the two words increased accuracy ( t = 2.43, Cohen's d = 0.38, p = 0.015) and reduced reaction time ( t = −1.8, Cohen's d = 0.21, p = 0.08).

We also observed a highly significant word frequency effect on both accuracy and RTs, such that more frequent first word reduced reaction time ( t = −4.07, Cohen's d = 0.63, p ≅ 0), and more frequent second word both increased accuracy ( t = 6.19, Cohen's d = 0.95, p ≅ 0) and reduced reaction time ( t = −8.3, Cohen's d = 1.28, p ≅ 0).
