Priming leads to an unconscious activation of particular associations in memory

Encoding on the structure of words

The idea that cues and contexts specific to a particular memory will be most effective in helping us recall it

Stereotype threat is

How we present an issue

Getting information into the brain:

When memories are potentially altered before being stored again

The stronger the emotion, the stronger the memory

The likelihood of an event based on our prototypes
