Converging activation resulting from "top-down" processing affects comprehension. The paper by Anderson and Reder
(1974) listed here shows that priming of an alternative meaning does not slow comprehension but may cause the
wrong meaning to be selected altogether. The other papers demonstrate a failure to notice a mis-match in memory
retrieval during parsing due to the heavy priming/activation of the schematic structure from the other elements
in the question.
