| Jan 29, 2022 at 1:46 | comment | added | Aralcar | I see - thanks for clarifying. In psychology (as in physiology) stimuli can be internal or external, so in theory psycholinguistic stimuli could also be internal or external. But you're right - psycholinguists don't really talk or write about priming from purely internal stimuli (as far as I know), maybe because it's difficult to test for it empirically. So if someone were independently thinking about a word or concept without having been influenced by any external stimulus, and they became more likely to produce that word or a related word, that effect might not be called priming. | |

| Jan 27, 2022 at 23:26 | comment | added | Aralcar | Hi, Edwin. The term 'priming' comes from the broader field of psychology, where the effect can come from any stimulus - anything that elicits a response. What did you have in mind with 'other than external influences'? | |
| Jan 27, 2022 at 12:15 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Hello, Aralcar. Is the term 'priming' actually used for other than external influences? Your answer certainly fits for ' ... because you were otherwise looking at, listening to ... that word'. | |
