Abstract
Priming demonstrates participant’s enhancement or change in outcome during a cognitive task (eg lexical naming task) because of exposure to a stimulus or prior experience McNamara & Holbrook, 2003. It has long been confirmed by the researchers that reaction times are lessened to words preceded by semantically related words (“cat”-“dog”) in comparison with words preceded by semantically unrelated words (“bus”-“dog”). This is called as the semantic priming effect. Twenty primary school going typically developing children (10 boys and 10 girls) in the age range of 5 to 6 years participated in this study. 25-line drawing pictures were used for the current study. The children were instructed to name the pictures offered on a laptop monitor who was programmed with the help of DMDX software under prime and no prime conditions. For both the conditions (with prime and without prime) the speech reaction time for naming the pictures was measured. Reaction time was measured in millisecond. The outcome of the analysis revealed that there was significant difference in the retrieval time for target words in two priming conditions ie with prime and without prime conditions. Retrieval time improvement in this study can be useful in knowing semantic and lexical processing in children.
