Spreading activation within a network. The diagram shows how activation spreads within a network after various time steps after activating a prime node, leading to the activation of the target node nurse. Darker colors indicate greater activation levels. On the left, the related prime doctor is activated, while on the right, the unrelated prime doctrine is activated. The final activation level of the target node nurse is greater on the left when the activated prime is a related word.
