Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Priming is the process by which exposure to a stimulus influences a response to a subsequent stimulus, without conscious guidance or intention. It is the activation of associations in memory, often unconsciously. Procedural memory is the long-term memory for learning motor skills and habits. LTP (long-term potentiation) refers to the strengthening of neural connections over time as a result of repeated stimulation. The serial position effect refers to the tendency to remember the first and last items in a list better than the middle items, due to the way they are processed and stored in memory.
