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

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.

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.

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

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

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
