Perception The process by which an individual selects, organizes, and interprets stimuli into a meaningful and coherent picture of the world Elements of Perception Sensation Absolute threshold Differential threshold Subliminal perception Chapter Six Slide Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Sensation Sensation is the immediate and direct response of the sensory organs to stimuli A stimulus is any unit of input to any of the senses. The absolute threshold is the lowest level at which an individual can experience a sensation. Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Six Slide

Differential Threshold (Just Noticeable Difference – j.n.d.)
Minimal difference that can be detected between two similar stimuli Weber’s law The j.n.d. between two stimuli is not an absolute amount but an amount relative to the intensity of the first stimulus The stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the additional intensity needed for the second stimulus to be perceived as different. Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Six Slide

Marketing Applications of the J.N.D.
Marketers need to determine the relevant j.n.d. for their products so that negative changes are not readily discernible to the public so that product improvements are very apparent to consumers Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Six Slide

Discussion Question How might a cereal manufacturer such as Kellogg’s use the j.n.d. for Frosted Flakes in terms of: Product decisions Packaging decisions Advertising decisions Sales promotion decisions Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Six Slide

Subliminal Perception
Stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard They may be strong enough to be perceived by one or more receptor cells. Is it effective? Extensive research has shown no evidence that subliminal advertising can cause behavior changes Some evidence that subliminal stimuli may influence affective reactions Copyright 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Chapter Six Slide

Perceptual Selection Selection Depends Upon: Nature of the stimulus Includes the product’s physical attributes, package design, brand name, advertising and more… Expectations Based on familiarity, previous experience or expectations.
