Priming

Many studies that have been conducted show that different colors have the ability to pass meanings to an individual and also potential to influence individual’s perception through the color priming effect. This usually occurs when exposure to a single color stimulus affect the way individuals respond to other stimuli. This is to say that exposure to a particular color can influence the way we react emotionally either positively or negatively. Numerous attempts have been done for years to…

be greater priming effects for negatively valanced words in the meaning judgement task than in the letter search task. Negatively valanced words did have stronger priming effects than positively valenced words. In contrast to this hypothesis, while priming effect was larger for the meaning task than the lettersearch task, this difference was not significant. The second hypothesis was that priming would be stronger for negative words for participants who scored high on anxiety and priming would…

The Effects of Money-Priming on Decision Making Thomas Payne 41311823 University of Canterbury Abstract In this study we tested the effects of money-priming on the decisions made by students at University of Canterbury surrounding flu vaccination. 447 students in the PSYC106 class labs at UC were tested in a money-priming group and control group to see if mentioning money would make the participants more selfish. The results showed that money-priming had little effect…

situation could be translated differently within a person’s subliminal priming. Another type of priming that is along the lines of causing even more of an impact of how someone may react or perceive a situation or person is postconscious automaticity - which is when there is a conscious perception of the priming being done but the person is not exactly aware of how much it may affect their reactions. It is more of a conscious priming that people do when they seemingly guide their thoughts by…

acquired, may be a different process from learning a first language (L1); it involves acquisition of a new set of arbitrary forms to re-represent an already established set of forms from L1 (Midgley, Holcomb, & Grainger, 2009). Semantic and translation priming studies utilizing vocabulary from two languages offer an informative perspective into these processing systems of second language in the mind of a bilingual or a second language learner. The findings in this type of research provide…

There is a great deal of evidence supporting this idea, especially focussing on syntactic/structural priming. Syntactic priming can be described as a tendency, after processing a sentence containing a certain syntactic structure, to use related syntactic structure, which is primed and becomes more activated, and, therefore, is produced more…

film, just how it came to do so is a widely debated topic. For my essay I will be focusing on James Kendrick’s analysis Disturbing New Pathways: Psycho and the Priming of the Audience. In his…

One example of these methods is priming. Per Psychology Dictionary, priming is an effect in cognitive psychology caused by exposure to a stimulus either repetitively with the intent of decreasing the time the brain takes to process the stimulus (Nugent, 2013). Priming stems off into multiple different branches as well, one of them being repetition priming. Repetition priming is the idea that prior exposure to a stimulus will affect the way that a participant…

Statistically, the most of the population is 18-25 years old with a range of full and part-time students. Which impacts how they are affected by priming through money. It also didn 't take into consideration other factors for example if we have personally used specialised programmes as it affects us personally even if we were primed with money. No knowledge of what a service is, what socio-economic…

There was no interaction effect observed between structural priming and regions on reading time, F1 (2, 22) = 0.63, ns, η2p = .054; F2 (2, 48) = 1.57, ns, η2p = .061. Reading times were not significantly different at the target word between relevant and irrelevant structural primes, t (24) = 1.62, ns. Reading times were not significantly different at the word immediately after the ambiguous word, t (24) = 0.34, ns. Reading times were not significantly different at the second word following the…
