Is anyone aware of an implementation of the lexical decision task in the DRC model (Coltheart, Rastle, Perry, Langdon & Zeigler, 2001) in which it was specified what might be going on *after* a yes/no response has been made? The original paper looks at the role of the orthographic lexicon, which is assumed to provide the basis for the lexicality decision, but I have been so far unable to find any paper that examines what's going on in the semantic system during this time, and more importantly, what's assumed to happen in the rest of the system after it has determined that a letter string is/is-not a word. Is the task-irrelevant semantic processing assumed to terminate at that point?
