Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mediated priming is the process by which unassociated concepts are primed through intermediate concepts. For example, if the word "cat" is shown followed by the word "claws," and later the word "tree" is shown, participants will respond more quickly to words like "leaves" than to words like "rocks." This occurs because "cat" and "tree" are not directly related, but are both associated with "claws" and "leaves," respectively.
