Explanation: Memory training technique whereby an association is made with a stimulus in memory is called priming. The associated stimulus affects or determines our interpretation of the stimulus. It also aids an individual's ability to retrieve information from memory.

After priming, responding to closely related samples or associations is faster than non-related samples.

In the context above, faster judgment could be made about carrot which is a root vegetable having just heard the word vegetable. Mushrooms and vegetables aren't prototypes so it might take longer to make a pronouncement.
