The document discusses the dynamics of perception from three aspects: perceptual selection, organization, and interpretation. It focuses on perceptual selection, which involves consumers selectively attending to environmental stimuli based on three main factors: the nature of the stimulus, their previous experiences, and their motives. Consumers filter stimuli through selective exposure, selective attention, perceptual defense, and perceptual blocking mechanisms. They tend to notice stimuli that confirm their beliefs and fulfill their needs, while ignoring threatening or irrelevant information.

2. Dynamics Of Perception
Perception is a result of two types of inputs: Physical
stimuli and Past experience. The combine factors of
these two factors produces different pictures for
each individual
There are 3 aspects of perception:
1. Perceptual Selection
2. Perceptual Organization
3. Perceptual Interpretation

3. Perceptual Selection
Consumers receive a lot of stimuli from the environment but
they select only some based on their nature

This depends on three major factors
•
Nature of the stimulus
•
Consumer’s previous
experience
•
Consumer’s motives

4. NATURE OF STIMULI
A STIMULI CAN HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
VARIATIONS DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE
PRODUCT, THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES, THE DESIGN,
THE BRAND NAME , THE TYPE OF ADVERTISEMENT
AND SO ON…

6. CONSUMER’S PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
CONSUMER SEE WHAT THEY
EXPECT/WANT TO SEE . WHAT THEY
EXPECT DEPENDS ON THEIR PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCE. THUS, DIFFERENT
CONSUMERS WOULD SEE DIFFERENT
QUALITIES IN THE SAME PRODUCT
DEPENDING ON THEIR NEEDS

7. CONSUMER’S MOTIVES
PEOPLE TEND TO IGNORE THE STIMULI THAT ARE IRRELAVENT TO
THEIR NEEDS. THIS HELPS A MARKETER DECIDE THE SEGMENTS
TO WHICH THE PRODUCT CAN BE TARGETED. THIS IS HOW WE
CAN SEE A NUMBER OF INNOVATIVE ADVERTISEMETS.

9. CONCEPTS OF PERCEPTION:
1.SELECTIVE EXPOSURE
2.SELECTIVE ATTENTION
3.PERCEPTUAL DEFENSE
4.PERCEPTUAL BLOCKING

10. Selective exposure:
PEOPLE TEND TO SELECT SPECIFIC
ASPECTS OF EXPOSED
INFORMATION BASED ON THEIR
PERSPECTIVE, BELIEFS, ATTITUDES
AND DECISIONS. PEOPLE CAN
DETERMINE THE INFORMATION
EXPOSED TO THEM AND SELECT
FAVORABLE EVIDENCE, WHILE
IGNORING THE UNFAVORABLE.

11. Further, they select such stimulus which
helps in making purchase decision
.

12. Selective attention:
NOT ALL THE STIMULI RECEIVED BY THE HUMAN ORGANISM
ARE ACCEPTED BY IT.

SOME STIMULI ARE NOTICED AND SOME ARE SCREENED
OUT.


13.  The process of filtering information
received by some or your own sense is
called selective attention.
This often influences on buying decision.
Some will select based on the brand, price
and social appeals etc.

14. PERCEPTUAL DEFENSE
Consumers subconsciously screen out
stimuli that they find psychologically
threatening even though the
exposure has already taken place

16. PERCEPTUAL BLOCKING
This refers to the subconscious “screening out”
of stimuli that is inconsistent with one’s needs,
values, beliefs, or attitudes. In the context of
consumer behaviour it has been found that
consumers protect themselves from being
bombarded with marketing stimuli by simply
“tuning out”—blocking such stimuli from
conscious awareness.

17. Perceptual blocking

19. PERPECTUAL SELECTION:
Consumers selects , ignore, turn away some of the stimulus based on
the requirements
1) Nature of the stimulus
Nature of the product, physical attributes, the package design,
brand name and advertisements
2) Expectations:
People see what they want to see, based on previous experience,
familiarity and preconditioned set of expectations.
3) Motives

People perceive the things they need and want – Stronger the need –
Greater tendency to ignore unrelated things.

20. SELECTIVE PERCEPTION

Selective exposure: People
look for pleasant and sympathetic
messages and avoid painful or threatening ones.

Selective attention: People

look into ads which will satisfy their need.
Perceptual Defense: People
avoid psychologically threatening ones.
Hence constantly change the ad nature. [


Perceptual Blocking: People
block stimuli which is bombarded.
