projects radiation onto the paintings, only the materials containing heavy elements absorb it. Radiation passes through the materials containing lighter elements. Unpainted canvas consists of three layers: the ground layer, the thread layer, and the priming layer. The ground layer is the bottom layer on which all other layers sit. There is nothing particularly important about the ground layer in painting, but it comes into play later on with the radiation. The thread layer is the middle layer…

Those in the recognition condition had to select one of three words that they thought was flashed to them in the priming session. As predicted, the results of this study showed that high-prejudice participants rated the target person negatively and decreased their positive constructs and low-prejudice participants rated the target person with positive stereotypic…

link between nonconscious activation and the desire to pursue behavioral goals in two different word searching tasks using a priming manipulation. In the study, it was hypothesized that goals could be activated without individual awareness and be completed. Throughout the five experiments several priming techniques were used from word searches with a neutral or goal priming words or a scramble sentence test where participants created four word sentences in either a neutral or cooperative…
