【 摘 要 】

Semantic priming is the phenomenon for which presenting a word (“prime”) to a subject can influence the processing of a second word (“target”), such as in the “lexical decision task” (is the target a word or a non-word?) or in the out-loud pronunciation of the target word (“naming task”). Performance and response times are affected by the strength of the prime-target association (for example, “dog” and “cat” are more strongly associated than “dog” and “goat”), the delay between prime and target, and other factors (McNamara, 2005). Lerner and Shriki (2014) review and provide novel evidence for a model of semantic priming that accounts for many of the empirical findings and makes clear predictions on two new experiments conducted by the authors.
