I responded:
"I'd replace "lead to/elicit", again because of the connotation of

"How about "precedes"?
That'd work with the following additional alteration. The
alteration is aimed
at avoiding saying the "words" precede. It's the action of
PERCEIVING the
words that is the critical predecessor, the moment when, say, the
raw sense data
arises in the mind. So:
"So, perhaps we might say that the perception of words precedes
associations
or responses generated by our receiving and processing apparatus."
