What are semantic and repetition priming? How could you use them to improve the efficiency of your studying?

What will be an ideal response?


In semantic priming, we are primed by a meaningful context or by meaningful information. Such information typically is a word or cue that is meaningfully related to the target that is used. In repetition priming, a prior exposure to a word or other stimulus primes a subsequent retrieval of that information.

Discussion of how to apply them to studying should include the idea of both repeated review of material and cognitively processing the material in some way.
