Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Priming is a type of memory that occurs when exposure to a stimulus in the environment makes it easier to access related information or concepts. In Jody's case, her recent learning in abnormal psychology about behaviours related to mental disorders has primed her to notice similar behaviours in her family. This is an example of how priming can affect perception and attention. This is not related to episodic, procedural, or semantic memory.
