​A phenomenon in which exposure to a word or concept later makes it easier to recall related information, even when one has no conscious memory of the work or concept, is called​

Correct option is B

The correct answer is Priming. Priming is a cognitive phenomenon where prior exposure to a stimulus (like a word or concept) influences response to a later stimulus, without the individual being consciously aware of the prior exposure. It facilitates faster recall or recognition of related information.

Information Booster:

• Priming is a form of implicit memory where previous experiences affect task performance without conscious awareness.

• Often used in psychology experiments to study unconscious influences on behavior and thought.

• Can be semantic (related meanings), perceptual (form similarity), or conceptual (based on related ideas).

• Common in advertising and education, where prior exposure helps in faster retrieval or recognition.

• It demonstrates how memory and learning occur below the level of conscious awareness.

• Important in understanding how cues influence cognition and decision-making.

• Helps in designing effective instructional strategies that activate prior knowledge.

Additional Knowledge:

• Explicit Memory involves conscious recall of facts and events (e.g., recalling a birthday).

• Implicit Memory includes priming, procedural tasks, and conditioning — it’s unconscious.

• Declarative Memory is a type of explicit memory that includes semantic (facts) and episodic (events) memory.
