Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Priming occurs when an encounter with a stimulus unconsciously alters subsequent responses to that stimulus or a related one. Priming is evident in behavioral changes including faster response times, increased accuracy, or biased responses. Perceptual priming results in an enhanced ability to identify a stimulus. Conceptual priming results in facilitated processing of the meaning of a stimulus or enhanced access to a concept.
