Publisher's Synopsis
Priming is the implicit memory effect in which exposure to a stimulus influences response to a later stimulus. It can occur following perceptual, semantic or conceptual stimulus repetition. In this book, the authors present topical research on the psychology of priming. Some of the topics discussed include empirical investigations on priming or word-stem completion; neural correlates of repetition priming; lexical and syntactic priming in language comprehension; exploring the contradictory results on the cross-modal priming effect in normal ageing; facilitation of content-specific prior memory procedures; non-word stimuli and the effect of adult ageing on episodic priming; rime priming effects in the auditory word recognition and priming in visual search.
