Perception

• Perception is defined as the process by which an individual selects,


organizes and interprets stimuli into a meaningful and coherent picture of
the world.
• Perception is a highly individual process based on each person’s needs,
values and expectations.

Ajay Gangele AMBAMK0313


11/17/2022 45
Unit-2
Perception

Basic Concepts
Sensation: Sensation is the immediate and direct response of the sensory organs to
stimuli.
Stimuli: A stimuli is any unit of input to any of the senses (product, packages, brand
name & advertisement)
Sensory receptors: Sensory receptors are the human organs (eyes, ears, nose, mouth)
that receive sensory input.

Ajay Gangele AMBAMK0313


11/17/2022 46
Unit-2
Perception
The Absolute Threshold:
The point at which a person can detect a difference between something and nothing
As absolute threshold increases, our senses become dull.
Sensory adaptation: which is why co. change their advertisements regularly.
The Differential Threshold:
The minimal difference that can be detected between two similar stimuli is called
the differential threshold or Just Noticeable Difference(J.N.D).
 Significant increase is noticed quickly
 Product improvements
Marketing Application of J.N.D
Negative Changes: Reduction in product size or quality, increase prices.
Positive Changes: Updated packaging, large size,
Lower prices.

Ajay Gangele AMBAMK0313


11/17/2022 47
Unit-2
Perception
Subliminal Perception:\
Subliminal perception occurs when stimulus is below the level of the consumer’s
awareness. Stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard.
Perceptual Selection
An individual may look at some thing, ignore others and turn away from still others.
Which stimuli get selected depends on.
 Nature of Stimuli (Contrast to differentiate)
 Expectations (familiarity, previous experience,)
 Motives (stronger the motive)
Concepts Concerning Selective Perception
1. Selective Exposure:
2. Selective Attention: price, appearance, Design
3. Perceptual Defense: Individuals distort information that is not consistent with their
needs, values and beliefs. (Smoking- psychologically threating)
4. Perceptual Blocking: ‘tuning out’ of stimuli’

Ajay Gangele AMBAMK0313


11/17/2022 48
Unit-2
Perception

Perceptual Organization
People do not experience the numerous stimuli separately rather into a unified
wholes.
Principles of Perceptual Organization
• Figure and Ground: Stimuli that contrast with their environment are more likely to
be noticed.
• Advertiser should make sure that stimulus they want noted is seen as figure and
not as ground
• Grouping: Individuals tend to group stimuli so that they form a unified picture. It
facilitates their memory and recall. (Mobile Number).
• Closure: Incomplete messages are better remembered than completed ones.

Ajay Gangele AMBAMK0313


11/17/2022 49
Unit-2
Perception
Perceptual Interpretation
How close a person’s interpretations are to reality, depends on the clarity of the
stimulus, past experience, motives and interest at the time of perceiving.
Perceptual Distortion
1. Physical Attractiveness: People tend to attribute the qualities they associate with
certain people to others who may resemble them.
2. Stereotypes: Black & white ad
3. First Impressions
4. Jumping to Conclusions
5. Halo Effects: Licensing, Brand Extension

Learning Theories

1. Behavioral learning theory: It focuses on exclusively on observable


behavior (responses) that occur as the result of exposure to stimuli.
A. Classical Conditioning (Repetition)
B. Instrumental Conditioning

2. Cognitive Learning Theory: It view learning as a function of purely mental


process.

Behavioral Learning Theory

• Classical Conditioning: Conditioned learning results when a stimulus that


is paired with another stimulus that elicits a known response serves to
produce the same response when used alone.

Application of Classical Conditioning Theory

 Licensing: allowing a well-known brand name to be affixed to products


of another manufacturer.
3. Stimulus Discrimination: It results in the selection of a specific stimulus
(Positioning) from among similar stimuli.

 Positioning
 Product Differentiation

Behavioral learning theory

B. Instrumental Conditioning:

 Learning occurs through a trial and error process with habits formed as a
result of rewards received for certain responses or behavior.

 Learning occurs in a controlled environment in which individuals are


rewarded for choosing a appropriate behavior.

 A favorable experience (fit brand) is instrumental in teaching the


individual to repeat a specific behavior.

Instrumental Conditioning

1. Reinforcement of Behavior:
Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement: Insurance, Headache remedies.

2. Extinction and Forgetting: Extinction is the point at which the link between
the stimulus and the expected reward is eliminated due to non-repetition.
Forgetting is concerned with time gap.
Extinction can be overcome by enhancing customer satisfaction and
forgetting by repetition.
