AN OVERVIEW OF THE PERCEPTION PROC
ESS
Exposure is the process by which the
consumer comes into physical contact
with a stimulus ( ). It occurs
when a stimulus within the range of
someones sensory receptors.

SENSATION AND PERCEPTION
Sensation ( ) is the immediate re
sponse of our sensory receptors (ey
es, ears, nose, mouth, and fingers)
to basic stimuli (light, color, sound,
odor, and texture).
Perception ( ) is the process by
which sensations are selected, orga
nized, and interpreted.

Ad companies spend about
$80 million per year on scent
marketing; the Scent
Marketing Institute estimates
that number will reach more
than $500 million by 2016.
Recent developments include
scented clothes, scented
stores, scented cars and
planes, scented household
products, and scented
advertisements.

SENSORY THRESHOLDS
The concept of sensory threshold is importa
nt for marketing communications
SENSORY THRESHOLDS
The absolute threshold refers to the minimu
m amount of stimulation a person can detect
on any given sensory channel
The differential threshold refers to the abili
ty of a sensory system to detect changes in o
r differences between two stimuli
FOR REFLECTION
How much of a change would be needed in a
favorite brands price, package size, or logo
would be needed for you to notice the differ
ence?
How would differences in these variables aff
ect your purchase decisions?

Subliminal perception (
) occurs when the stimulus is
below the level of consumers
awareness.

FACTORS LEADING TO ADAPTATI
ON
Adaptation is the degree to which consumers continue to n
otice a stimulus over time.
A consumer can habituate and require increasingly stron
ger doses of a stimulus to notice it.
Several factors can lead to adaptation.
Less intense stimuli have less sensory impact. (Intensity)
Stimuli that require relatively lengthy exposure in order to be
processed habituate because they require a long attention spa
n. (Duration)
Simple stimuli habituate because they do not require attention
to detail. (Discrimination)
Frequently encountered stimuli habituate as the rate of exposu
re increases. (Exposure)
Stimuli that are irrelevant or unimportant habituate because t
hey fail to attract attention. (Relevance)

Gestalt - The whole is
greater than the sum of
its parts.
PART 3: INTERPRETATION

STIMULUS ORGANIZATION
Gestalt: the whole is greater than the sum of its
parts
Closure: people perceive an incomplete picture
as complete
Similarity: consumers group together objects th
at share similar physical characteristics
Figure-ground: one part of the stimulus will do
minate (the figure) while the other parts reced
e into the background (ground)

meaning
