Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of priming suggests that exposure to a stimulus can influence a person's response to subsequent stimuli. In this scenario, even though the viewer was unaware of the brief exposure to the Coke bottle, it may still prime their brain to recognize related words more quickly than unrelated words on a test a few seconds later. This is known as semantic priming, where exposure to a concept (Coke) primes related concepts (diet, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper) in memory. Option A is incorrect because priming can still occur even if the viewer is unaware of the event. Option C is not supported by the information given in the scenario. Option D is not likely to occur with just one brief exposure.
