The relationship between skill learning and repetition priming
… of forms of implicit memory, skill learning and repetition priming, can be understood as facets of a single memory mechanism. In Chapter One, the phenomena of priming and skill learning are first introduced, along with theories of those phenomena. Skill learning is learning that is general to a …

The cognitive mechanisms and neural substrates underlying repetition priming
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, 1997.

Enhancement of verb retrieval: Neuromodulation, repetition priming, and aphasia rehabilitation
… in healthy individuals, language facilitation by repetition priming reflects changes in implicit processing of stimuli (at the level of lexical retrieval), and explicit episodic retrieval of the prior occurrence of the stimuli. In patients with aphasia, the data indicates that the observation of …

Neural Correlates of Repetition Priming: Changes in fMRI Activation and Synchrony
The neural mechanisms of behavioural priming remain unclear. Recent studies have suggested that category-preferential regions in ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOTC) play an important role; some have reported increased neural synchrony between prefrontal cortex and temporal cortex associated with …

Processing Unattended Visual Information: Insights From an Analysis of Repetition Priming Using Event-Related Brain Potentials
… times to recently ignored targets (negative priming), (e) can occur for digits as well as words, and (f) is related to ease of selection. The occurrence of this ERP modulation suggests that the processing of unattended information can extend beyond elementary physical features (to involve …

Incremental lexical learning in speech production: a computational model and empirical evaluation
… the subsequent naming of a picture of a dog (repetition priming) and interferes with the subsequent naming of a picture of a cat (semantic interference). Behavioral studies suggest that these effects derive from persistent changes in the way that words are activated and selected for …

Cognitive and neural correlates of memory retrieval in young and older adults
… fMRI study described in Chapter 3 used semantic repetition priming to test two theories of the role LIPC plays in semantic retrieval. Young adults exhibited repetition-related BOLD response reductions in LIPC that were specific to the particular semantic task engaged, consistent with the …

The Production and Comprehension Lexicons: What Is Shared and What Is Not
… The experiments used a variation of the standard priming task, with word-pairs as the primes and pictures as the probes. The same probe pictures were used in all of the experiments. The word-pair trials consisted of one word which was produced and the other ignored. The logic was that produced …

Handlungsdeterminierende Prozesse beim Aufgabenwechsel und die Notwendigkeit der Dekomposition von Wechselkosten
… Reaktion auf denselben Reiz hin zu wiederholen (Repetition Priming) entstehen, oder c) durch die Erschwernis entstehen, auf einen Reiz reagieren zu müssen, auf den zuvor nicht reagiert werden durfte (Negatives Priming). In den Experimenten 4 bis 7 wird diese Methode experimentell validiert. …

Masked antipriming: a behavioral and event-related potential examination of short-term antipriming effects
Antipriming is a new implicit-memory effect of prior processing of stimuli measured as impaired identification of objects following recent encoding of other objects (e.g.,identifying a piano is impaired by having recently viewed objects that are not pianos; Marsolek et al., 2006). Antipriming …

Single-System and Dual-Process Accounts of Explicit and Implicit Memory
… on studies of recognition memory and long-term repetition priming. However, experimental results and mathematical modelling have shown the ability of a single-system account to explain the relationship between various forms of explicit and implicit memory. This thesis uses behavioural …

The Coding Flexibility of Radical Position in Chinese
… be found. In Experiment 2, 3, and 4, the masked priming technique was used to investigate whether there are TR priming effects in Chinese character recognition, as well as whether such effects would interact with radical type (character radical vs non-character radical) or character structure …

Morphological Representations In Lexical Processing
… examines the sensitivity of phonological rhyme priming to morphological structure, specifically, the extent to which stems of complex words are available for rhyme priming. Results suggest that phonological rhyme priming can facilitate phonological representations without facilitating syntactic …
