The procedure called 'semantic priming' is used to study which of the following phenomena ?

  • A.Signal detection ability
  • B.Field dependence - independence
  • C.Locus of control
  • D.Subliminal perception

Answer: D

Semantic priming is used to study subliminal perception. A prime word flashed too briefly to be consciously seen can speed the recognition of a related target word, which shows that meaning was processed without awareness.

Signal detection ability is studied with detection tasks measuring sensitivity and criterion. Field dependence-independence is measured with embedded figures tests. Locus of control is measured by internal-external scales, so none of these uses priming.
