Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semantic priming is a psychological phenomenon where the exposure to one word (the prime) influences the response to another word (the target), often making it faster to recognize the second word if it is related in meaning to the first. This has been used extensively to study the process of word recognition and the comprehension of meaning, as it provides insights into how related concepts are organized and accessed in the brain.
