Priming
Priming is the practice of exposing a learner to foundational material before a live session so that the concepts are already partially encoded when the session begins. It is the specific mechanism that converts cold information into warm information. Effective priming targets exactly the concepts the session will build on — not inspirational or peripherally-related content — and treats pre-work as required infrastructure, not optional reading.
