Negative priming requires which type of memory process...

A. Implicit memory
B. Declarative memory
C. Iconic memory
D. Explicit memory

Im quite confused because I read that priming is a type of implicit memory, but isn't implicit memory part of long term memory? In the example of negative priming the stimulus is given right before the next in order to negatively prime it...therefore I thought it would be Iconic/sensory memory. How can priming, which I understand is a skill, be considered long term if the time period is so short?

A different question relates negative priming and alzheimers. Is the reason it is impacted due to the fact that in alzheimer's long term memory is decreased?

Priming establishes implicit memory, in that even though the stimulus is short term, long-term memory of the negative prime will be remembered if this stimulus is encountered again. There is a video on youtube of roommates and one negatively primes the other with a nerf gun. Even after he has stopped, his roommate still reacts to the prime, unconsciously.
