Perceptual Segregation

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Participants who are primed with a specific category, such as musical instruments, will have a faster response time in recognizing words that belong to that category. This is called priming effect. Therefore, participants who are told that they are about to see a word that represents a musical instrument will recognize the word guitar more quickly than participants who are told they are about to see a word that represents a form of transportation.
