Alexia without agraphia, or "pure" alexia, is an acquired impairment in reading that leaves writing skills intact. Repetition priming for visually presented words is diminished in pure alexia. However, it is not possible to verify whether this priming deficit is modality-specific or modality independent because reading abilities are compromised. Hence, auditory repetition priming was assessed w...

this study investigates the role structural priming plays in production of passive structures among iranian efl learners. in order to answer the research question, which asked whether structural priming effects result in an increase in the production of the target structure (i.e., passive structures), 60 iranian efl learners participated in the study. after taking the placement test, they were ...

Priming in coconut water and seed weight are important nursery techniques for seedling emergence vigorous juvenile growth phase the nursery. Two hundred ten (210) observational stands of soursop seedlings were gotten from five (5) seeds 0.6 - 0.8 g 0.3 0.5 weights which primed at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 72 hours replicated three times. Findings showed that heavy had higher percentage (92.90 %) th...

Cognitive processes and mechanisms underlying different forms of priming were investigated using a diffusion model approach. In a series of six experiments, effects of prime-target associations and of a semantic and affective categorical match of prime and target were analyzed for different tasks. Significant associative and categorical priming effects were found in standard analyses of RTs and...

A series of three experiments was carried out in order to better characterize the representations that support long-term cognate priming. In Experiment 1, robust priming was obtained between orthographically similar French/English cognates in bilingual speakers, and this priming was mediated, in part, by orthographic codes, given that priming for these items was dramatically reduced following a...

Norris and colleagues have proposed that priming effects observed in the masked prime same–different task are based solely on pre-lexical orthographic information. This proposal was evaluated by examining translation priming effects from non-cognate translation equivalents using both Spanish–English and Japanese–English bilinguals in the same–different task. Although no priming was observed for...
