Preferred term

word-fragment completion task  

Definition

  • Task used to study the priming effect. Participants are asked to complete words with missing letters (e.g. M _ M _ _ Y). Nothing in the instructions suggests that the words to complete have been studied previously. In addition, a distractor task between the study phase and the test phase is introduced to prevent the mental rehearsal of the studied words, and to reduce the influence of explicit memory.
