Effects of Priming on Problem Solving in Medical and Paramedical Students: A Study.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of priming on an individual's problem-solving ability, investigate the existence and direction of the relationship, and examine whether gender differences influence the extent of priming. A sample of 625 undergraduate medical and paramedical students was randomly assigned to either a positive or negative priming group. Data was collected through online forms using Ditloid puzzles, which assess a person's linguistic and word-forming (verbal) ability.
