presenting one word makes it easier to identify a related word in a lexical decision task.

Explanation:

Semantic priming involves the use of one word to emphasise a second word which is the target. For example if you use a dog as the target in a sentence, an appropriate primer can be a cat. It will be inappropriate to use a car as a primer since it does not have any relationship with a dog.

Semantic primers activates words and concepts that are related to the target, making their recognition easier.
