Delivery of micronutrients to plants through seed priming improves seedling vigour and increases crops yields. Two-year filed trial was conducted in Pančevo, Serbia, with aim study the effect zinc (Zn) on field performance three maize hybrids calcareous chernozem deficient plant available Zn. Seed treatments were: control (without priming), water 4 mM sulphate solution. had significant early gr...

in order to investigate the effects of water stress and seed priming on seed yield and its components of spotted bean cultivars this study was conducted. the experimental design was implemented in a factorial–split plot based on rcbd with three replications at research field of zanjan university in summer of 2006. main factor was allocated to interaction between two cultivars (tallash and c.o.s...

soil and water salinity in arid and semi-arid regions, is one of the most important stresses, can severely limit crop production. black cumin (nigella sativa l.) is annual important herbal plant in rununculaceae family that sense to salinity. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the priming on seed germination of black cumin under saline stress. the experiment was carried out as ...

BACKGROUND Bonafide psychotherapy is an effective treatment for generalised anxiety disorder compared to no-treatment. Rather than creating increasing numbers of new overall treatment-packets within a medical meta-model, an additional approach to investigating clinical research designs may be to increase the understanding of already effective psychotherapies. Treatment manuals and protocols all...

New Paradigm: • Prototype Priming, i.e. RTs are measured. Learn set: • Stimuli grouped with the target according to their similarity with the prototype. • Overall 1400 presentations of stimulus samples, i.e. 700 RTs. Test set: • New stimuli. • One half grouped analogously to learn set (Sti1), the other half inversely (Sti2). • 100 presentations overall, i.e. 2x25 RTs. Control group: • No groupi...

A perceptual-identification task was used to assess priming for words and pseudowords that in their upper- and lowercase formats share either few (high-shift items) or many (low-shift items) visual features. Equivalent priming was obtained for high-shift words repeated in the same case and in a different case, and this priming was greatly reduced when there was a study-test modality shift. Acco...

In a recent meta-analysis, Lucas (2000) concluded that there is strong evidence of an overall pure semantic priming effect but no evidence of priming based purely on association. In the present review, I critically examine the individual studies claiming evidence of featural and associative relations in semantic memory. The most important conclusion is that automatic priming appears to be due t...

Two experiments investigated the relationship between masked form priming and individual differences in reading and spelling proficiency among university students. Experiment 1 assessed neighbor priming for 4-letter word targets from high- and low-density neighborhoods in 97 university students. The overall results replicated previous evidence of facilitatory neighborhood priming only for low-n...
