This is an example of supraliminal priming, where participants are consciously exposed to words meant to induce a certain mood. Subliminal priming refers to a situation where exposure to a stimulus is below the threshold of conscious awareness, concept priming is when exposure to a stimulus influences our perception of a related stimulus, parafoveal processing refers to the ability to process information in the visual periphery, and sequential priming is when the presentation of one stimulus influences the processing of a subsequent, related stimulus.
