Bread primed to detect related word butter more quickly than unrelated word. Students more likely to wobble on balance beam in room w/ posters of alcohol vs juice. German students primed with words like sexuality sweat stiff bed . Dutch students exposed to scent of all purpose cleaner. People + scent of cleaning product less likely to litter.
