Answer 1

Subliminal perception

Explanation:

Subliminal perception is like the perception without awareness. It occurs when the stimulus is too weak to notice the perception. It influenced a person's sense of perception. The stimulus is perceived 50% of the time. In subliminal perception feel that the stimulus is distorted or is too weak to notice it consciously.

So the word that is used fr the stimulus is an undetectable stimulus. This stimulus can be produced by a flashing light before it masking by the individual. When masking is being noticed from the original stimulus then it creates a subliminal perception for an individual.

Thus in an experiment, the researcher found the subliminal perception during the experiment. The participants were not aware of that the word pair that influenced their perception.
