Significados de semantic priming em inglês

Previous research on semantic priming in schizophrenia has produced contradictory findings.

Results: Schizophrenics displayed increased indirect semantic priming compared with psychiatric controls.

However, research on direct semantic priming has produced conflicting results.

Results suggest that enhanced semantic priming is not confined to tasks that require lexical decision.

Background: A number of studies have suggested that indirect semantic priming is enhanced in thought-disordered schizophrenics.

When subtyping the sample, TD-patients exhibited significantly enhanced indirect semantic priming compared with healthy and psychiatric controls as well as NTD-patients.

However, the interpretation of semantic priming studies in schizophrenic patients is obscured by methological problems and several artefacts (such as length of illness).

Background: Previous studies on semantic priming have suggested that schizophrenic patients with language disturbances demonstrate enhanced semantic and indirect semantic priming effects relative to controls.
