Document Summary
We infer because we have no direct sense or access to what is going on in other people"s minds. Infer by using, language, facial expressions, behavior, demeanor, tone. We can be unaware of why and how we think and perceive the way we do. We have unconscious thoughts that we cannot look inward" to understand. Cannot argue, there is no common ground/understanding when conscious experiences varied from another introspectionist. When exposure to a stimulus previously, even if consciously unaware when you were exposed, influences your subsequent behavior. Expose priming stimulus (bread) for 50 ms unconsciously aware of the word that pops up on the screen. When you are given a priming word that is semantically related to the target word, you are quicker to say that the target word is in fact a word. The more exposed you are to something increases your positive rating for that thing (e. g. politicians and name recognition)
