Recent studies showed that several semantic aspects involved each other in concept processing. According to the theory of language and situated simulation (LASS; Barsalou et al., 28), at the beginning of the process, the linguistic or language system is accessed. Then the taxonomic aspect is engaged and followed by the simulation system. In this study, I investigated whether such processing stages can be assumed, regardless of the type of presented word, by using an association task. Participants' responses reflecting the processing steps assumed by the LASS theory were observed when presenting preceded words that are primarily associated with the linguistic or situated aspect. Notably, when the words that are likely to be associated with the taxonomic aspects were presented, different processing strategies might have been used. These results suggested that the processing stages might be different depending on the dominant semantic feature of presented word.
