Answer to Question 1

Cognitive stage: We think about explicit rules for implementing the procedure.
Associative stage: We consciously practice using the explicit rules extensively, usually in a highly consistent manner.
Autonomous stage: We use these rules automatically and implicitly without thinking about them. We show a high degree of integration and coordination, as well as speed and accuracy.

Answer to Question 2

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.
