CONT

Perceptual priming is observed when the prime and the target share perceptual attributes. This is the case, for example, when a visual prime and a visual target overlap with each other. In contrast, semantic priming is observed when a prime (e.g. doctor) and a target (e.g. nurse) are semantically related.
