Question

Laverne goes to a movie theater to watch her favorite movie. About halfway through the movie she becomes aware of an overpowering hunger for popcorn. What she doesn’t realize is that throughout the first part of the movie, a message saying "Eat Popcorn!" was repeatedly flashed on the screen at a speed too fast for her to be consciously aware of it. If her desire for popcorn is due to that message, she is responding to:

A) intuitive perception.B) subliminal perception.C) subconscious perception.D) rapid cognition.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Subliminal perception

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "subliminal" refers to an object, image, idea or stimulus that is only understood by the subconscious mind but not he unconscious mind, this process is called subliminal perception. This means if there is a subliminal message, sound or image are presented the individual would perceive it without being completely aware or conscious of this. Additionally, this can trigger a specific response the individual might not be able to understand or explain. This type of perception can be seen in the case of Laverne because the subliminal message "Eat Popcorn" was presented to her and although she was not aware of this it triggered in her the desire for popcorn.
