The effect of three primes which facilitated metaphor comprehension in a study by P. Gildea and S. Glucksberg (Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior. 22, 577-590, 1983) was investigated in three experiments. When primes were embedded in a passage context, they affected neither the comprehensibility nor the reading times of the following metaphors. In contrast to Gildea and Glucksberg's findings, some primes interfered with metaphor comprehension when the word prime alone was presented. The primes affected comprehension of literal and metaphorical sentences in a similar manner. This evidence suggests that comprehension processes that integrate a sentence with the preceding context for both metaphorical and literal materials may be very similar. A model of that process is presented and a possible explanation for the discrepancy between Gildea and Glucksberg's and our findings is suggested.
