I present evidence that masked repetition priming of word identification can be
modulated by post-prime cues. Cues consisted of targets presented in black, with
repetition and unrelated primes equally likely for such targets, or in a color that was
correlated with type of prime (e.g., red = repetition prime, green = unrelated prime).
There was an increase in response latency for targets with unrelated primes and a
decrease in response latency to targets with repetition primes when target color was
correlated with type of prime. In this correlation condition, subjects exhibited a larger
reliance on the prime for target processing. In the condition where target color was
unrelated to prime type, subjects had less reliance on the prime and processed the target
more independently.
