Q

A03: How is cognitive priming an important part of applied psychology?

A03:
What did Moller and Krahe find that SUPPORTS cognitive priming and aggression?

The ppts who played violent video games were more likely to interpret the accidental push as deliberate and act in an aggressive way.

34
Q

A03:
Why is cognitive priming difficult to scientifically measure?

A

Because the association between the stimuli is an internal process that would be difficult to test and replicate

A

Support

37
Q

A03:
One ____________ of cognitive priming is that it can be used to help us understand and prevent cognitive causes of obesity. Harris et al found that advertising can affect how many ___________ people eat because of cognitive priming.

Strength
Snacks
Prevent
Healthy
Applied
