(13) Experiment 2 examined the effects of unrecognized, disambiguating flank words on verbal responses to a centrally presented homograph.
(14) Conclusions are (a) initial meaning activation can be sensitive to context, (b) when a homograph is instantiated, it is congruent with a broad scope of targets, and (c) less-salient targets receive less activation over the time course.
(15) Less-salient targets, although initially activated, were no longer activated 300 ms following the homograph.
