...Subliminal Perception & Extra Sensory Perception Subliminal Perception is the ability to notice stimuli that affect only the unconscious mind. This concept used subliminal messages, which are brief auditory or visual messages presented below the absolute threshold so that there is less than 50 percent chance that they will be perceived. In a state-of-the-art technology, subliminal perception is done by continually flashing a message through computerized digital words on a screen at a very fast speed. The repeated flashing stimulates the potential or prospective buyers to unconsciously absorb the message. If the message in a TV advertisement during commercial break, is to eat pizza pie at Pizza Hut, generally consumers whenever feel hungry they tend to go to Pizza Hut and order pizza pie. On the other hand, supraliminal perception is the perception of stimuli that are above level of consciousness or awareness. Experiences that can be evoked by sensory receptors are strong enough to perceive and remember. Extrasensory Perception is the perception of objects or events through means other than sensory organs. Eyes, ears, mouth, nose and skin are sense organs used for personal experience to the external world. Bem and Honorton presented “psi”, as unusual processes of information or energy transfer that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms. ESP experiences are described below: 1. Telepathy – It is a direct communication...

...Para entender lo que es un mensaje subliminal, primero debemos saber que los procesos mentales se dividen en dos áreas: Consciente y subconsciente. El consciente es la mente racional, lo que cuestiona y analiza. El consciente procesa solo ciertos rasgos visuales, auditivos, de tacto, tacto y olfato. El subconsciente procesa la totalidad de los estímulos restantes. Un mensaje subliminal es una señal o mensaje diseñado para pasar por debajo de los niveles normales de la percepción humana. Por tal razón son estímulos que no alcanzan la representación consciente por falta de atención o por su corta duración. Son imágenes o sonidos que al transmitirse entran directamente al subconsciente sin que el consciente lo capte al momento. Los mensajes subliminales no son un concepto nuevo o de moda. Desde la antigüedad los filósofos griegos comenzaron a hacer mención de las percepciones subliminares. Los primeros registros datan de 2,250 años. En los escritos de Demócrito el mencionaba que no somos capaces de percibir mucho de lo perceptible. Platón también lo menciona en su escrito “Timeo”. En su escrito “Parva Naturalia”, Aristóteles, menciona como los estímulos no percibidos pueden afectar los sueños. El explicó que durante el día si los estímulos que recibimos no son lo suficientemente fuertes y poderosos pasan inadvertidos. Durante el día, mientras estamos despiertos, estamos expuestos a fuertes impulsos y estímulos. En la noche, cuando dormimos, todos esos estímulos...

...PERCEPTION 1. We all see the world in our own way, and interpret it differently. Several people can see the same incident and give very different accounts. 2. Senses differ from perception 3. For marketers, consumers perceptions are much more important than their knowledge of objective reality. "Reality" is an individuals perception of what has taken place. 4. What people think or believe is in many ways more important than what really is 5. Perception is defined as "how we see the world around us" our perception is based on our needs, values, expectations 6. Perception is the process by which an individual selects, organises and interprets stimuli into a meaningful and coherent picture of the world (stimulus = input to the senses). 7. Sensation = immediate and direct response of the sensory organs to simple stimuli eg. an advertisement, a brand name, a package. 8. ABSOLUTE THRESHOLD = point at which a person can detect a difference between something and nothing. It is different for each individual - adaptation = getting used to a sensation senses becoming dulled to it, because of adaptation, advertisers try to change their campaign regularly, use attention gaining techniques eg. samples, stunts etc. Packaging also is designed to stand out from the rest, to gain attention. i.e. if you sense the same thing over and over again you will become bored with it and turn off from it. 9. DIFFERENTIAL THRESHOLD = minimal difference between two stimuli...

...Automatic Effects of Brand Exposure on Motivated Behavior: How Apple Makes You “Think Different” ´ GRAINNE M. FITZSIMONS TANYA L. CHARTRAND GAVAN J. FITZSIMONS* This article first examines whether brand exposure elicits automatic behavioral effects as does exposure to social primes. Results support the translation of these effects: participants primed with Apple logos behave more creatively than IBM primed and controls; Disney-primed participants behave more honestly than E!primed participants and controls. Second, this article investigates the hypothesis that exposure to goal-relevant brands (i.e., those that represent a positively valenced characteristic) elicits behavior that is goal directed in nature. Three experiments demonstrate that the primed behavior showed typical goal-directed qualities, including increased performance postdelay, decreased performance postprogress, and moderation by motivation. P eople see thousands of brand images in an average day. Given how ubiquitous brands have become in people’s everyday lives, it is important that research uncovers the ways in which brand exposure can affect behavior. Although brands are of significant interest to consumer researchers, scant empirical work has addressed the potential behavioral consequences of brand exposure, inside or outside of the consumer decision-making context. And yet, given that consumers encounter many more brands than people in an average day, brands have surely become more...

...Copyright 1998 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 0022-3514V98/S3.00 Journal of Personality and Social Psychology IW8, Vol. 74, No. 4, 865-877 The Relation Between Perception and Behavior, or How to Win a Game of Trivial Pursuit Ap Dijksterhuis and Ad van Knippenberg University of Nijmegen The authors tested and confirmed the hypothesis that priming a stereotype or trait leads to complex overt behavior in line with this activated stereotype or trait. Specifically, 4 experiments established that priming the stereotype of professors or the trait intelligent enhanced participants' performance on a scale measuring general knowledge. Also, priming the stereotype of soccer hooligans or the trait stupid reduced participants' performance on a general knowledge scale. Results of the experiments revealed (a) that prolonged priming leads to more pronounced behavioral effects and (b) that there is no sign of decay of the effects for at least 15 min. The authors explain their results by claiming that perception has a direct and pervasive impact on overt behavior (cf. J. A. Bargh, M. Chen, & L. Burrows, 1996). Implications for human social behavior are discussed. behavior in line with the activated constructs (see also Carver, Ganellen, Froming, & Chambers, 1983; Neuberg, 1988). For example, priming participants with the stereotype of the elderly made participants walk more slowly than participants who were not primed (Bargh, Chen, & Burrows, 1996, Experiment...

...INTRODUCTION For an individual to better understand a particular society there is the need to first of all understand the term sense of belonging. The concept of sense of belonging may be define as the perception of similarity to others, an acknowledged interdependence with others, a willingness to maintain this interdependence by giving to or doing for others what one expects from them, and the feeling that one is part of a larger dependable and stable structure Belonging is closely linked to the concepts of identity, social groups, and communities. Because diverse experiences, backgrounds, cultures, heritages, and histories lead to unique individual experiences of belonging (or not belonging) in society, one person’s sense of belonging to a place or a people cannot readily be defined by others. Belonging to groups is the starting point of learning about roles and responsibilities and reflects choosing to identify with other members of society. Identity refers to who people feel that they are as individuals (“who I am”) and as members of groups (“who we are”). It also includes their identities in the eyes of others (for example, as they are commonly represented in the media McMillan & Chavis (1986) define sense of community as "a feeling that members have of belonging, a feeling that members matter to one another and to the group, and a shared faith that members' needs will be met through their commitment to be together. The following are how sense of belonging helps...

...Our mind perceives the world around us by using our five senses; sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing. We perceive the world around us through our senses. These perceptions form new thoughts and ideas. A very important question is then raised, how accurate are these senses? While in some ways they are accurate, in some ways they are quite flawed. There are many factors that contribute to these flaws such as sleep and nutrition. We must also consider the role that “nature” vs. “nurture” has on our senses. In the end our senses are only as accurate as circumstances allow them to be. One reason I believe in the inaccuracy of our senses is something called the McGurk effect so named after its discoverer, Harry McGurk. (web Hoskins yale) While studying infants and how they perceive speech Harry McGurk created a video that is quite baffling. In the video a volunteer is visually recorded saying “ga” but the sound “ba” is dubbed over it. (Haskins) When you watch the video however you hear the sound “da”. (Haskins) Our sense of sight is telling us one thing while our sense of hearing is telling us another. Because of the inaccuracy of these senses the information perceived by them, the sound “da”, is also incorrect. Another reason I believe our senses are inaccurate is phantom limb pain. This is a condition that results from the amputation of a limb and is a combination of psychological and neurological factors. This condition can be treated using a number of prescription...

...Submitted by: Ayesha Rafaqat 693 Submitted to: Miss Zoya Department Of Applied Psychology Lahore College For Women University, Lahore. Comparison Between Concept Of James Mill And John Stuart Mill JAMES MILL states that mind is just like machine. James Mill applied the doctrine of mechanism to the human mind with a rare directness and comprehensiveness JOHN STUART MILL says that mind played an important and active role in the association of ideas. John Stuart Mill argued against the mechanistic position of his father, who viewed the mind as passive, something acted upon by external stimuli. CREATIVE SYNTHESIS the idea given by Stuart Mill. The notion that complex ideas formed from simple ideas take on new qualities, the combination of the mental elements creates something greater than or different from the sum of the original elements. MY VIEWS ABOUT THIS CONCEPT: * Human mind comes up with ideas; human mind does associates one idea with another. For example, 2+2 =4 but it can also 22, so it depend on human mind how to perceive it. * Mind is not like machine this concept is limited. * Chemists were demonstrating the concept of synthesis, in which chemical compounds were found to exhibit attributes and qualities not present in their component parts or elements. CONCLUSION: This is clear that mind is not like...

...Social Perception was described as interpreting information about other people. If you feel that you are familiar with a person, you perceive to have a better understanding of that person intention. The pattern of thinking can affect a person's perception of others. The social contexts, in which you meet someone, can play a large part in whether the perception of someone will be positive or negative. How we perceive others is dependent on a significant number of factors; which are classified as internal and external. Internal factors include physical appearance, and verbal and nonverbal communication e.g facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, body position and movement, touch, and gaze. External factors include the target and the situation. The target of the object in question determines perception because attention is a prerequisite of perception. Secondly, the situation influences how we look at things and how we perceive them. A person who is shouting because of anger for example cannot be perceived to be short-tempered based on this but a person who has met them for the first time may be tempted to think so. Stereotyping is another perspective that influences perception; such that a person is perceived on the basis of the group to which one belongs to. Stereotypes refer to characteristics associated with a certain group of people such that people perceive all members of such a group to possess such characteristics or behavior. There are also factors that...

...Summary of Content Sandra Wilson’s theory of counseling is presented in her book Hurt People Hurt People. Wilson examines the role that a person’s development from childhood plays in their adult life. She explains that the truth that children accept about themselves carry over into adulthood and cause problems. In essence, Wilson argues that “what we live with, we learn, what we learn, we practice. What we practice, we become, and what we become has consequences” (Wilson 2001, 86). Children accept their identities from the reality they perceive from their parents (Wilson, 40). The failure to process the identity perceived from parents causes children to establish and reinforce unbiblical patterns of living that continue into adulthood, and eventually lead to the same result in the lives of their children (71). The key to correcting the problem is to make new choices based upon biblical truth that will result in new consequences that will change lives (87). For instance, a person who accepts the need to be perfect to define their worth must realize that the Bible declares that all people are flawed; this allows the person to accept that they have the right to be wrong and accept flaws without obsessing over them (122). Strengths and Weaknesses Wilson’s approach has two strengths in particular that I feel are very important in the counseling process. First, she highlights the effect that truth, or perceived truth, has on lives. I would guess that your average person does not...

...Company Overview Google was founded with a simple mission “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful” (Google.com, Overview 2011). The founders believed that the world would be a better place if everyone had access to the same information, anywhere, anytime. Did Google founders really understand the potential this mission and their belief would have in changing the way we all live and work? Google founders had developed a way to accomplish this mission technologically yet they needed a corporate culture that would help them to fulfill and maintain this mission. The culture created and maintained by Google’s founders is one of encouragement, open communication, and constant innovation which is accomplished by providing an open, flexible work environment that fosters the sharing of ideas and opinions. Every employee is considered to be a hand’s on contributor, wears several hats and is encouraged to speak up (Google.com, Culture 2011). Employees are given the opportunity to work on personal projects while at work which has fostered the creation of new products like Gmail, Buzz, Wave and others (Forbes, 2010). These espoused values are clearly in line with Google’s enacted values. This is evident in Google’s products, its search capabilities, which allow the users of its technology the ability for open communication and the sharing of ideas and opinions by providing access to information from various sources including books, publications...
