Which type of memory is affected by priming?

Semantic memory

Explanation

Priming affects semantic memory, which involves the meanings of words and concepts.

Which type of priming occurs when exposure to one stimulus influences the processing of a later, related stimulus?

Repetition priming

Explanation

Repetition priming involves the facilitation of processing for a stimulus due to prior exposure.

In the context of priming, what is the term for the increased likelihood of perceiving a stimulus if it has been recently encountered?

Perceptual fluency

Explanation

Perceptual fluency refers to the ease with which a stimulus is recognized due to prior exposure.

Which type of priming occurs when exposure to a stimulus influences the processing of an unrelated stimulus that follows it?

Negative priming

Explanation

Negative priming occurs when prior exposure to a stimulus inhibits the processing of a related stimulus.

In the context of priming, what is the term for the increased likelihood of perceiving a stimulus if it is similar to the previously encountered stimulus?

Perceptual fluency

Explanation

Perceptual fluency refers to the ease of processing a stimulus due to similarity with previously encountered stimuli.

Which type of priming occurs when exposure to a stimulus influences the processing of a related stimulus that follows it?

Positive priming

Explanation

Positive priming occurs when prior exposure to a stimulus facilitates the processing of a related stimulus.

Which term refers to the phenomenon where exposure to a stimulus influences response to a subsequent stimulus?

Priming

Explanation

Priming involves the influence of prior exposure on subsequent responses.

In the Stroop test, participants are asked to name the color of the ink in which a word is written. What does this test primarily assess?

Attentional control

Explanation

The Stroop test primarily assesses the ability to control attention and inhibit automatic responses.

In a lexical decision task, participants are asked to decide whether a presented stimulus is a real word or a non-word. What cognitive process does this task primarily measure?

Language processing

Explanation

The lexical decision task primarily measures language processing abilities.

#10

Which of the following is an example of semantic priming?

Seeing the word 'yellow' and then recognizing the color yellow

Explanation

Semantic priming involves the facilitation of processing related concepts, such as recognizing the color yellow after seeing the word 'yellow'.

#11

Which of the following is an example of procedural priming?

Completing a crossword puzzle

Explanation

Procedural priming involves the facilitation of performing tasks or activities, such as completing a crossword puzzle.

#12

Which type of memory is most closely associated with the affective priming effect?

Semantic memory

Explanation

Affective priming, involving the influence of emotional stimuli, is closely associated with semantic memory.

#13

The concept of 'spreading activation' is closely associated with which psychological theory?

Schema theory

Explanation

Spreading activation is a key concept in schema theory, which explains how knowledge is organized in the mind.

#14

Which brain structure is commonly associated with implicit memory processes?

Basal ganglia

Explanation

The basal ganglia are associated with implicit memory, particularly procedural memory and habits.

#15

Which researcher is widely credited for pioneering studies on priming and its effects on social behavior?

John Bargh

Explanation

John Bargh is known for pioneering studies on priming and its impact on social behavior.

#16

What is the term for the phenomenon where exposure to a specific stimulus influences behavior without conscious awareness?

Implicit bias

Explanation

Implicit bias refers to unconscious influences on behavior, often resulting from prior exposure to stimuli.

#17

What is the primary focus of the ideomotor theory of implicit learning and memory?

Motor skills

Explanation

The ideomotor theory focuses on how actions are represented in memory, particularly motor skills.

#18

According to the transfer-appropriate processing theory, what enhances memory performance?

Similarity between encoding and retrieval tasks

Explanation

Memory performance is enhanced when there's similarity between how information is encoded and how it's retrieved.
