Q

sensory threshold

A

the study of the relationship between the physical properties of stimuli and the “psychological responses” . Psychophysics helps us to measure the threshold

21
Q

Absolute threshold

A

the minimum amount of stimulation that can be detected on a sensory channel

22
Q

Differential threshold

A

ability of a sensory system to detect changes in a stimulus or difference between two stimuli

23
Q

Just noticeable Difference:

A

minimum change in a stimulus that can be detected

24
Q

webers law:

A

the stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the change must be for it to be noticed

25
Q

webers law:

A

K= JND/I

26
Q

subliminal perception:

A

information presented below the level on consumers awareness, similar to subliminal messages but they are not hidden, they are present, you just have to focus to see it

27
Q

Attention

A

the extent to which the brains processing activity is devoted to a particular stimulus

28
Q

an example of subliminal priming

A

apple logo flashed for 30ms and then it is masked to interrupt conscious processing (individuals who saw apple logo are more creative).

29
Q

sensory overload

A

more information than able or willing to process

30
Q

perceptual selectivity

A

people attend only small portions of the stimuli to which they are exposed to in order to avoid being overwhelmed

31
Q

guerilla marketing:

A

unexpected and unconventional marketing approaches to get attention

32
Q

what are the perceptual selection factors

A
  1. perceptual filters
  2. perceptual vigilance
  3. adaptation
  4. intensity
  5. discrimination
  6. exposure
  7. relevance
33
Q

perceptual vigilance

A

aware of stimuli that relate to their current needs

34
Q

perceptual defence:

A

see what you want to see and ignore what they don’t want to see

35
Q

Perception depends on stimuli factors which include:

A
  1. novelty
  2. contrast
  3. color
  4. size and position
  5. sex and humor
  6. odor
  7. movement
  8. price
36
Q

interpretation:

A

meaning that people assign to sensory stimuli

37
Q

how do people interpret thing?

A

the stimulus is assigned to a schema

38
Q

schema:

A

mental structure that encompasses a persons knowledge and feelings that are related to an object or event

39
Q

gestalt psychology:

A

the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Meaning is derived from the totality of a set of stimuli rather than individual stimulus

40
Q

gestalt psychology includes:

A
  1. principle of closure
  2. principle of similarity
  3. principle of figure-ground
41
Q

stimulus interpretation

A

is associated with other related events, sensations or images

42
Q

principle of closure:

A

consumers tend to perceive an incomplete picture as complete

43
Q

principle of similarity

A

consumers group together similar objects

44
Q

principle of figure-ground

A

one part of the stimulus will dominate the perception

45
Q

proximity

A

items close to each other in space of time tend to be perceived as being related or belonging to each other

46
Q

continuity

A

elements are seen as belonging to each other if they appear to be a continuation of the direction of previous elements

47
Q

positioning strategy:

A

the place a brand occupies in the consumer mind with regard to important attributes and competitive offering

48
Q

functional attributes + symbolic attributes=

A

brand perception

49
Q

brands position is a function of

A
  1. lifestyle
  2. price leadership
  3. attributes
  4. product class
  5. competitors
  6. occasions
