It can occur after perceptual, semantic, or conceptual stimulus repetition and it can affect the subject’s judgment. It happens, for example, if a person reads a list of words including the word "table", and is later asked to complete a word starting with "tab", the probability that he answer "table" is greater than if not so primeD、

试题答案： 答案解析：Priming refers to a kind of implicit memory effects that can increase people’s sensitivity towards certain aspects of life and affect people’s judgments to some extent. The lecturer uses an example to illustrate the term. When a man got on the bus and started to take some notes, a girl who had just graduated from college quickly reached a conclusion that he was a student who was dealing with some academic problems. On the contrary, another girl who saw the man regarded him as a writer. This was probably because she had just published her own book of poetry, so she tended to think of others as poets making drafts. [听力原文] M: We just discussed that priming, a kind of implicit memory effects, may be stimulated by people’s prior experience and the subject tend to interpret a situation according to his former cognitive experience. Priming can be found in learning process as well as in people’s ordinary life. For example, a girl took a bus to go home after college graduation. On her way, while she was recalling her student life attentively, a man got on the bus and started to write down something right after he took the seat. The girl immediately made a conclusion that the man was a student who was solving difficult academic problems, such as doing calculations or making up course notes. This assumption was made due to her prior student life experience, which made her think that a young man with a pen was certain to be a young student. Coincidentally, another girl who took the same bus also made her own speculation. This girl just published her first volume of poems and was in the excitement of literary creation. She thought of the man as a poet or a novelist who was plotting a new story or recording his inspiration for a new poem. Her conclusion was also influenced by the effects of priming, that is, one’s latest social experience can, to some extent, determine her judgment. document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
