Semantic effects in the word-word interference task: a comment on Roelofs, Piai, and Schriefers (2013)

Roelofs, Piai, and Schriefers (Language and Cognitive Processes) test both the WEAVER++ model of word production and the response-exclusion account of performance in Stroop-like tasks against data from the word–word interference (WWI) task, and conclude that whereas the WEAVER++ successfully accounts for those data, the response-exclusion hypothesis fails. Here we show that once recent data from the WWI task are considered, both models fail.
