Nota de alcance

  • In a semantic priming task, participants are presented with words that serve as primes, and followed by target words. A prime word is semantically related or not to the target word. For example, the prime could be "doctor" and the semantically related target could be "nurse". Participants are asked to make a decision on the target word, usually by determining whether it is a real word or a non-word. Reaction times are measured. The semantic priming effect is observed when participants respond more quickly to the target word when it is preceded by a semantically related prime than by an unrelated prime (for example, "bread" as prime for "nurse").
