Contextual priming effects in the reception and evaluation of news events
… Nevertheless, while many studies focus in the effects of news and while the research on context effects is broad, studies about context effects in news reception are scarce. A hypothesis proposed by media critics suggests that the juxtaposition of news –especially the mixing of tragic and …

Come a Little Closer: Examining Spillover Priming Effects from a Network Perspective
Priming theory has been well researched within the field of media studies. Since the late 1980s, priming theory has been used to explain a host of media effects related phenomena. Although priming is one of the most robust theories in media studies, scant research has been paid to …

Examining Priming Effects of Jewish Culture and Religion on Impressions of a Jewish Individual
Recent research identified distinct cultural and religious components of American Jewish people's identities (Friedlander et al., 2010). Consequently, we conducted a series of studies assessing Jewish stereotype content and activation that confirmed these components also comprise the Jewish …

Priming Effects and Gender-Based Performance Expectations: Expanding the Informational Structure of the Interaction
… this tradition, psychological research on priming effects suggests that non-conscious processes related to the accessibility of cognitive constructs influence how actors perceive and categorize social stimuli. The extent to which such categorization processes affect status-organizing …

Social and Nonsocial Priming Effects on 12- to 15-Month-Olds’ Preferences for Infant-Directed Speech
… task facilitates performance (often called “priming”). Studies have found that conceptual and perceptual priming improves neural efficiency and thus shortens response time in adults. In infant research, various visual and auditory/visual events are used as attention getters to orient the …

Connections Between Infants' Object-Representation and Physical-Reasoning Systems: Priming Effects in Violation -of -Expectation and Manual-Search Tasks
Experiments described in this dissertation suggested that by highlighting a variable in infants' object-representation system, we may prime infants to attend to a variable in an event category; once included in the physical-reasoning system, the information about the variable will be interpreted by …

A Job Schema Approach to Understanding Job Responses (Priming)
… these employees. The second question asked about priming effects: do written primes (i.e., questions) from questionnaires such as Hackman and Oldham's Job Diagnostic Survey (1975) make primed job aspects more salient? To answer this second question, Wyer and Srull's (1980) model of information …

Concept associations as the basis of social priming
Social priming has been a fundamental methodological practice in experimental social psychology for decades; however recent failures to replicate priming studies have cast some doubt on the robustness of subtle primes’ influence on social behavior. The present research attempts to resolve this …

Response Mapping in Evaluative Priming
… and Lambert: 2009) proposed a new model of priming, which they called the Response Mapping: RM) Model. That model assumes that under some circumstances, priming effects are the result of an unintentional tendency for participants to impose the target categorization task onto the primes: …

Phonological Priming in Japanese-English Bilinguals: Evidence from Lexical Decision and ERP
… this issue by examining masked phonological priming effects in Japanese-English bilinguals when English words (e.g., guy) were primed by phonologically related logographic (Kanji) words (e.g., 害, /gai/, “harm”) and also when English words (e.g., guide) were primed by phonologically similar …

Priming the Data: Examining Self-Potentiation in a Word Fragment Completion Task
… the presence and severity of self-potentiation effects in a word fragment completion task commonly used to evaluate priming effects. Priming effects have suffered a plethora of replication issues, and the field is currently under intense scrutiny. By analyzing and refining the methodology used, …

What spatial reference frame is used for priming in visual search?
… information. This was achieved by using spatial priming in visual search. Spatial priming manifests itself in speeded detection times for a target when that target appears in the same location that it previously appeared in (Shore & Klein, 2001). Target locations can be defined in either …

The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease : evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures
… (ERP) were measured in a word-picture semantic priming paradigm. Age-related changes in semantic priming were assessed by comparing young and elderly adults; differences due to DAT were assessed by comparing elderly adults and DAT patients. For patients, pictures were classified as a function of …

Security priming in everyday life: how do symbols of close others support attachment in adulthood?
Security priming refers to the idea that exposure to simple, attachment-relevant cues—such as photographs of loved ones—can enhance psychological security and related outcomes. While security priming effects have been robustly demonstrated in laboratory settings, there is growing interest in …

Lexical-syntactic representations in bilingual sentence production
… syntactic preferences of verbs influence these priming effects (Chapter 5). To this aim, we conducted a series of syntactic priming experiments in which the structures of different syntactic constructions were primed within and between both languages of late Dutch-English and Dutch-German …

Somatosensory Involvement in the Conceptual Representation of Objects
… To do this, we employed two different priming paradigms, one in which vibratory stimulation served as a prime and an object picture as the target (Experiments 1 to 4), and the other where the object was the prime and the vibration the target (reverse priming task; Experiments 5 and 6). …

Flexibility in object-based selection
… test this idea, we ran four experiments using a priming of pop-out task in which participants searched for multidimensional targets (containing orientation and color). Orientation was always the target-defining and thus task-relevant feature, while color was always irrelevant to the task; …

The Coding Flexibility of Radical Position in Chinese
… (TR) effect, no empirical demonstrations of TR effects have been reported to this point. As a result, instead of adopting a position-general assumption of radical processing, a position-specific assumption of radical processing has been adopted in most Chinese character recognition models. In …
