Example of Implicit Priming: Garden Word Scramble
This example illustrates how a contextual prime influences outcomes. If an individual first reads a passage about gardening, such as, 'Some people really enjoy growing flowers. They love going outside to their garden, fertilizing their plants, and watering their flowers,' they are more likely to form the word 'petal' instead of 'plate' when asked to unscramble letters that could form either word. The gardening narrative primes the concept of 'petal', making it more accessible.

Example of Implicit Priming: Garden Word Scramble
In a study, participants are divided into two groups. Group A reads a passage describing a visit to a dentist, mentioning chairs, lights, and tools. Group B reads a passage about a carpenter building a cabinet, also mentioning tools. Afterwards, both groups are shown the word fragment 'D R _ _ L' and asked to say the first full word that comes to mind. A significantly higher number of participants in Group A say 'DRILL' (referring to a dental tool) compared to Group B. Which statement best analyzes the cognitive process responsible for this outcome?
