Lexical priming occurs when the response to a target word varies systematically as a function of the preceding linguistic context. Typically, the target word elicits a faster response after a context that is related than after an unrelated context. For example, following the related prime word “cat”, the target word “mouse” tends to elicit faster and/or more accurate responses. Although much of the research has employed single word primes (e.g., Meyer and Schvaneveldt, 1971 ), as in this example, more complex contexts such as sentence frames and discourse contexts can also induce lexical priming (e.g., Camblin et al., 2007 ; Hess et al., 1995 ). This chapter provides an overview of the many measures, models, and types of lexical priming. It also summarizes individual differences in lexical priming across the lifespan and among healthy and cognitively impaired populations.

Abstract

Lexical priming occurs when the response to a target word varies systematically as a function of the preceding linguistic context. Typically, the target word elicits a faster response after a context that is related than after an unrelated context. For example, following the related prime word “cat”, the target word “mouse” tends to elicit faster and/or more accurate responses. Although much of the research has employed single word primes (e.g., Meyer and Schvaneveldt, 1971 ), as in this example, more complex contexts such as sentence frames and discourse contexts can also induce lexical priming (e.g., Camblin et al., 2007 ; Hess et al., 1995 ). This chapter provides an overview of the many measures, models, and types of lexical priming. It also summarizes individual differences in lexical priming across the lifespan and among healthy and cognitively impaired populations.
