Aging and the negative priming effect: a meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

The phenomenon of priming occurs when previous exposure to a stimulus impacts subsequent processing of a similar or related stimulus, with positive priming inferring a more fluent subsequent processing and negative priming resulting from costs associated with the initial stimulus. A new study investigates adult age difference in negative priming. It is found that both younger and older adults are susceptible to negative priming and suggests that negative priming effects are less evident in older adults.
