WEEK 1 - THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CORE Flashcards
What is the process that lead from a exposure stimulus to consumer response?
Stimuli - senses - perception - memory - intention - action - response
(Attention is needed)
When does sensation happen?
When we are exposed to stimuli and we unconsciously devote our attention to it.
When does perception happen?
When we are aware of the stimuli and a specific sense is consciously stimulated by it.
What are 3 types of organizing sensory evidence in the brain?
- assimilation = fit with knowledge
- accommodation = moderate fit with knowledge
- contrast = no fit, new information
What is this perception theory: Traditional dissociation paradigm?
the fact that consumers are influenced by stimuli even when they are not aware of it.
When is a stimuli not detected by our senses?
Below the objective threshold
When is a stimuli still unconsciously detected by our senses? And what is this stimuli called?
Above the objective threshold and underneath the subjective threshold. This unconscious stimuli is called a subliminal stimuli.
What is a subliminal stimuli? How can this be measured?
A stimuli where people are not aware of. Can be measured by affect (change in mood)
When is a stimuli consciously detected by our senses? And what is this stimuli called?
Above the subjective threshold. This conscious stimuli is called the supraliminal stimuli.
What is a supraliminal stimuli? How can this be measured?
A stimuli where people are aware of. Can be measured by recognition.
Of which stimuli are people more influenced by? Subliminal or supraliminal?
Research says we are more influenced by stimuli if we are not aware of it, so subliminal stimuli.
What is the mere exposure effect?
When frequently exposed to stimuli, we tend to like it more.
This effect is true for the subliminal stimuli, and not for the supraliminal stimuli.
What is the defintion of attention?
The act of devoting our cognitive resources to the stimuli.
What are the characteristics of human attention?
- limited cognitive capacity
- selective; we chose to remember certain things
- can be divided; we can give our attention to multiple things at the same time

- create a more salienced stimuli
