The effect of visual priming on the lexical retrieval on implicit memory tasks for advanced foreign language learners

Abstract This study investigated the possible effects of visual priming on a foreign language vocabulary retrieval on three implicit memory task types (i.e., word stem completion (WSC), word fragment completion (WFC) and anagram solution tasks). Gender effect was also focused for lexical retrieval u...
