š§ The Priming Effect
Ever notice how once someone points something out, suddenly everyone sees or hears it? Thatās the priming effect in action.
Priming happens when exposure to one idea influences how we perceive something else. For example:
- Someone says, āThis singerās voice sounds like Trumpā Suddenly, everyone hears it too.
Itās basically your brain being gently guidedāsometimes without you even realizing it.
Next time you catch yourself agreeing with the crowd, ask: did you hear it first, or did someone prime you to hear it that way? š¤
Everybody knows Michael Stipe, right? This song is around like 40 years or so.
Have you ever noticed that he sounds like Trump? NO. Because HE DOESN'T . But all of a sudden someone on Instagram did a mash-up with this song and Trump's speech. And BOOM!
Now your brain is PRIMED, and you canāt UNHEAR that.
