Question

Priming occurs when presentation of one stimulus a. facilitates the response to another stimulus that usually follows closely in time. b. relates to a prototype in a way that is unrelated to associated exemplars. c. acts as a cue that tells the participant when his or her response was correct. d. disrupts the processing of another stimulus.

Answer 1

The correct answer is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Priming is a concept used in cognitive psychology that refers to the fact that certain stimuli given to a person influence the response that person gives to subsequent stimuli, that is, it is a phenomenon by which a stimulus, such as an event or experience, influences the individual's response to a subsequent stimulus. Priming has to do with the actions of recovering knowledge from our memory or generating involuntary and unconscious memories and which significantly affects the opportunity to perceive a stimulus that is related to previously perceived content.
