This document discusses perceptual selection and the factors that influence it. It explains that perceptual selection is the process by which individuals select certain stimuli for attention instead of others. There are two major factors that influence what stimuli get selected: previous experience/expectations and current motives/needs. The document also outlines several internal factors like personality, motivation, and expectations as well as external factors like intensity, size, contrast, repetition, motion, and familiarity that influence perceptual selectivity. It concludes that perceptual selection allows people to filter out irrelevant information and focus on the most important matters.

• Motivation

The Secondary Motive: The need of Power, affiliation and
achievement.

Familiarity

8. EXTERNAL
ATTENTION
FACTORS
• Intensity
According to intensity principal attention, the Intensity of
an external stimulus determines its probability of being
perceived.
• Size
A Larger object more likely to be noticed then a smaller
Object.
• Contrast
The Stimuli that contradict most with the background or
expectation of people receive maximum attention.

9. Continued…..
• Motion
People give more attention to moving object then
the stationery.
• Repetition
more times stimulus is repeated , the likely to be
noticed
• Familiarity
New object in familiar situation or familiar objects
in new situation draw the perceiver’s attention

10. PERCEPTUAL SELECTION IMPORTANT
CONCEPT
Selective
Exposure
Consumer Seek out
messages which:
Are pleasant.
Can Sympathize.
Reassure them of Good
Purchase.
Selective
Attention
•Heightened awareness
when stimuli meet their
needs.
•Consumer prefer
different message and
medium.
Perceptual
Defence
Screening out of Stimuli
which are Threating.
Perceptual
Blocking
Consumer avoid being
bombarded by with
stimuli by “blocking”
some stimuli from
conscious awareness.

11. CONCLUSTION
• Perceptual selection is the process by which people filter
out irrelevant or less Significant information , so they can
deal with the most important matters.
