Lexical decisions for lowand high-frequency words are equally facilitated by masked repetition priming, whereas nonwords typically show no effect of such priming. This pattern of results has been used to argue against an episodic account of masked priming and in favor of a lexical account in which the prime opens the lexical entry of the upcoming target. We propose that an episodic account can ...

Temperature is a key factor influencing plant growth and productivity; however, temperature fluctuations can cause detrimental effects on crop growth. This study aimed to assess the effect of seed priming Camelina sativa L. under heat stress. Experimental treatments were comprised of; including, no-priming, hydropriming (distilled water priming), osmopriming (thiourea applications at 500 ppm), ...

The classical activation of macrophages, one of major innate effector cells, requires IFN-γ pretreatment (priming) and subsequent TLR stimuli (triggering). The priming effect of IFN-γ can promote macrophages to secrete higher level of proinflammatory cytokines but lower level of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, enhancing microbicidal and tumoricidal activity of macrophages. However, the underly...

We used a contextual priming paradigm to examine top-down influences on the face-inversion effect. Adult participants were primed with either faces or Chinese characters and then tested on ambiguous figures that could be perceived as either faces or Chinese characters, dependent on the priming condition. The ambiguous figures differed from one another in their configural information, which is c...

The masked translation priming paradigm has been widely used in the last 25 years to investigate word processing in bilinguals. Motivated by studies reporting mixed findings, in particular for second language (L2) to first language (L1) translation priming, we conducted, for the first time in the literature, a meta-analysis of 64 masked priming lexical decision experiments across 24 studies to ...
