Priming
Priming
- Definition: Priming is an effect where exposure to one stimulus influences the response to a subsequent stimulus, without the individual being aware of it.
- Context: Occurs when a previous stimulus (the prime) facilitates or inhibits the processing or response to a later stimulus.
- Mechanism: Based on the activation of specific associations in memory before the second stimulus is presented, which affects the processing of the second stimulus.
- Purpose: Demonstrates how previous experiences and information can unconsciously influence the processing of new information.
from The Mind
Priming is a non-conscious influence of past experience on current performance or behavior.
