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 subliminal perception. Subliminal perception can be defined as any information that you receive unconsciously with your senses, they are messages or information presented just a little beyond the human perception and it occurs when a stimulus is too weak to be perceived yet a person is influenced by it.

Answer 2

The correct answer is : Subliminal perception

Step-by-step explanation:

It happens when visual or auditory messages are presented beyond the threshold of human perception. The conscious mind might not register it directly but it goes directly to the subconscious mind. This perception is without awareness. The message is too weak to be perceived but it can influence people's behaviors.
