In her early years in politics, economic liberalism was in retreat, the Soviet Union was extending its empire, and Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek were dismissed as academic eccentrics. In Britain the government hobnobbed with trade unions ("beer and sandwiches in Number 10"), handed out subsidies to failing nationalised industries and primed the pump through Keynesian demand management.

adjective
noun
primeness
-
noun
Origin:
Old English prīm (in prime1 (sense 2 of the noun)), from Latin prima (hora) 'first (hour)', reinforced in Middle English by Old French prime; the adjective dates from late Middle English, via Old French from Latin primus 'first'最近讀K. J. Wu 轉來的洪蘭教授的"負面言語讓人「未戰先敗」"
其中引用 Daniel Kahneman的一些想法
不過我認為洪教授太盡信書
.......諾貝爾經濟獎得主康納曼（D. Kahneman）在他的新書《Thinking, fast and slow 》中說，香蕉和嘔吐這兩個字本不相干，但是一旦把它們放在一起，會馬上令人感到不愉快。
大腦會自動作時間的序列，把香蕉和嘔吐連成因果，你就對香蕉產生暫時性的反感，連帶對黃色水果也不喜歡了。
這個自動化聯結所產生的作用，並不限於概念和文字，它甚至會改變你的行為。
紐約大學心理系教授巴夫請學生從五個字中選四個字出來造句，如：find（發現）、he（他）、if（如果）、yellow（ 黃色）、instantly（立即）。 另一組學生看到的字則是與「老」有關，如：forgetful（ 健忘的）、bald（禿頭的）、gray（灰色的）、 wrinkle（皺紋）。
做完之後，學生要到走廊另一端的實驗室去做另一個實驗。他測量學生走過走廊的時間，結果發現，那些看到跟「老」 相關字組的大學生，走的時間比看中性字組來得慢。原因在於，「 健忘」、「禿頭」、「皺紋」這些字促發了老的意念； 這個意念又促發了行為，使學生走路變慢了。
這個「促發效應」（priming effect）非常強烈。即使沒有一個學生注意到，這些字有共同的主題「老」。他們也都堅持， 老的念頭從未進入他們心中。然而，他們的行動卻變慢了， 這就是所謂的「意念動作效應」（ideomotor effect）。
更可怕的是，這個效應也可以倒過來做，動作也會強化意念。德國的研究者請學生在房間中走五分鐘，每一分鐘走三十步， 這是一般大學生步伐速度的三分之一， 然後請他們在電腦上辨認一閃而過的單字， 結果發現這些慢走的學生，對老年有關的字辨識特別快， 如forgetful、old。
假如你動作像老人，它會強化你老年的思想，這效應是雙向的。因為這暗示的作用是不自覺地發生。官員在談論國家前途時， 宜從正向著手去尋找解決方式，不可未戰先敗。........
現在我們可以查到近日心理學中的一熱門話題/爭議:Priming (psychology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
此文批評欄中有許多異議和建議:換句話說 "the priming effects"還只是待詳細驗證的假說.Criticism
Many of the priming effects could not be replicated in further studies, casting doubt on their effectiveness or even existence.[43] Nobel Laurate and psychologist Daniel Kahneman has called on social psychologists to check the robustness of priming studies in an open letter to the community, claiming that social psychology has become a "poster child for doubts about the integrity of psychological research."[44].....
洪蘭教授似乎過於肯定了.
