priming

Search the forum,
Priming is a phenomenon whereby exposure to one stimulus influences a response to a subsequent stimulus, without conscious guidance or intention. For example, the word NURSE is recognized more quickly following the word DOCTOR than following the word BREAD. Priming can be perceptual, associative, repetitive, positive, negative, affective, semantic, or conceptual. Research, however, has yet to firmly establish the duration of priming effects, yet their onset can be almost instantaneous.Priming works most effectively when the two stimuli are in the same modality. For example, visual priming works best with visual cues and verbal priming works best with verbal cues. But priming also occurs between modalities, or between semantically related words such as "doctor" and "nurse".

    Ply - Priming Back

    I'm replacing the floor in my bathroom with 18mm ply and then over boarding with 6mm HBB. I seem to remember that it's advised to prime the back and edges of ply before it's screwed down. Is it necessary? I'd don't really understand what this would be achieving.
