Question 2 of 5

1

Which is INCORRECT about priming

Select one of the following:

Priming is used to investigate how words are stored and retrieved in the brain
If the target word is "Horse".
The word "Cow" is given as a cue.
This is considered a primed target
If the target word is "Green".
The word "Grief" is given as a cue.
This is not a primed target.
Positive priming is thought to be caused by spreading activation. This means that the first stimulus activates parts of a particular representation or association in memory just before carrying out an action or task. The representation is already partially activated when the second stimulus is encountered, so less additional activation is needed for one to become consciously aware of it.
