Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Priming occurs when exposure to a previous stimulus influences the response to a subsequent stimulus. This means that the previous stimulus, which is above the threshold, has affected the perception or processing of the subsequent stimulus by facilitating or inhibiting a certain behavioral or cognitive response. Subliminal messages or stimuli below the threshold are not usually effective in producing priming effects. Therefore, the best answer is D, previous stimulus.
