    Priming is a technique where exposure to one stimulus subconsciously influences responses to a subsequent related stimulus. It works by activating associated representations in memory and can impact many aspects of daily life without awareness. There are several types of priming with different effects, such as positive priming speeding up responses and negative priming slowing them down, or semantic priming between logically linked words and associative priming between commonly associated words.

    Priming is a technique in which the introduction of one stimulus influences how people

    respond to a subsequent stimulus. Priming works by activating an association or


    representation in memory just before another stimulus or task is introduced. This
    phenomenon occurs without one’s conscious awareness, yet it can have a major impact
    on numerous aspects of people’s everyday lives. Priming can work with stimuli that are
    related in a variety of ways. Priming is named as such to evoke the imagery of a water
    well being primed. Once the well has been primed, water can then be subsequently
    produced whenever it is turned on. Once the information has been primed in memory, it
    can be retrieved into awareness more readily. There are several different types of priming
    in psychology. Each one works in a specific way and may have different effects.
    - Positive and negative priming describes how priming influences processing speed.
    Positive priming makes processing faster and speeds up memory retrieval, while
    negative priming slows it down.
    - Semantic priming involves words that are associated in a logical or linguistic way.
    The earlier example of responding to the word "banana" more rapidly after being
    primed with the word "yellow" is an example of semantic priming.
    - Associative priming involves using two stimuli that are normally associated with
    one another. For example, "cat" and "mouse" are two words that are often linked
    with one another in memory, so the appearance of one of the words can prime the
    subject to respond more rapidly when the second word appears.
    - Repetition priming occurs when a stimulus and response are repeatedly paired.
    Because of this, subjects become more likely to respond in a certain way more
    quickly each time the stimulus appears.
    - Perceptual priming involves stimuli that have similar forms. For example, the
    word "goat" will evoke a faster response when it is preceded by the word "boat"
    because the two words are perceptually similar.
    - Conceptual priming involves a stimulus and response that are conceptually
    related. Words such as "seat" and "chair" are likely to show priming effects
    because they are in the same conceptual category.
    - Masked priming involves part of the initial stimulus being obscured in some way,
    such as with hash marks. Even though the entire stimulus is not visible, it still
    evokes a response.
