Support for this use of the COWAT and the AN test as an index of spreading activation is provided by the results of research using lexical decision tasks.
The COWAT requires the individual to generate as many words as possible that begin with a specified letter in 60 s and the AN test requires the individual to name as many animals as possible within 60 s.
Hence, when computing the average word frequency for the words generated on the COWAT or on the AN test, increasing spreading activation will result in a lower overall average word frequency since a greater number of lower frequency words will be included.
Our findings supported the hypothesis, indicating the existence of a significant, albeit modest, relationship between average word frequency from the AN test and design frequency.
Research has indicated that semantic fluency tasks, such as performance on the AN test, are associated with left temporal lobe functioning [54, 55].
However, a significant negative correlation was found between average design frequency and average word frequency from the AN test (r = −.27, p = .04, R 2 = .07; see Fig. 3).
