priming
Where hearing or seeing one processing unit, e.g. a word, can affect a participant's speed and accuracy in responding to a subsequent, related processing unit.

Example:
e.g. semantic priming can exist between doctor and nurse so that participants can respond to the word nurse more rapidly and accurately when they have seen or heard doctor shortly before than otherwise.
