Subliminal Stimulation: Hidden Supplementation or Deceiving Capitalization?

For some time now, companies have been operating a mechanism called subliminal stimulation; stimulation is presented below the absolute threshold (threshold that determines whether something is perceived consciously or not), but that apparently still penetrates your unconscious, offering people the opportunity to ' lose weight ', "stop smoking" and "stimulate considers it self-evident".Concealed by harmonious sounds, like the waves of the ocean or a Chinese bamboo flute soothing, unheard messages such that "I am becoming more thin", "cigarettes taste horrible" and "I'm super confident" influence our behaviour and therefore act as hidden brain supplements, at least if you believe the large number of companies offering products subliminal.But they speak the truth?To learn, there are two important issues to consider: can really feel you a stimulus unconsciously? And these stimuli have actually all extraordinary suggestive powers outside your conscious decision-making? The answer to the first question is at least partially Yes; under certain conditions, an imperceptible image can "first" (priming is often unconscious activation of certain associations, thus influencing your perception, memory, or the reaction) your response to a question later.An interesting experience, illustrating this is the one that is emotionally positive scenes (people happy, puppy) or negative (a corpse or a monster) scenes have been flashed subliminal just before the subject is exposed to an image of normal people. According to subjects, people seemed more beautiful if they had simply been subliminally exposed to the positive image that after the negative image. This conclusion, which was supported by various other experiments, shows that we often think that we do not know and cannot describe. A brief imperceptible stimulus often triggers a weak response that can even be detected by neuro-imaging technology. This indicates that a considerable amount of your information processing occurs automatically and off the radar of your conscious mind.Just enough, subliminal sensations appear to exist, but this does not verify the claims countless of long term subliminal exhibition positive effects? Is it really possible for advertisers you manipulate with "hidden persuasion"? No, as the vast majority of researchers: their verdict is similar to that of astronomers who say astrologers, Yes, they are just that planets and stars exist, but not celestial bodies do not directly affect the us. Experimental research displays a small subtle effect; boot thirsty people with a brand of soda-drink popular may increase their choice of the mark began, which demonstrates the effect of subliminal advertising.But that demand subliminal message promoters is quite different: a powerful and lasting effect on behaviour. To test this, student researchers assigned to listen to messages subliminal commercial either suitor improve their self-esteem or memory. Effective listening? Scores of students on tests of memory and self-esteem showed no effect. Nevertheless, students did believe in their memory or self-esteem had increased despite no actual effect.Researchers have carried out more than 16 years of these experiments. No showing that subliminal stimulation has no therapeutic effect whatsoever. Therefore, it seems reasonable to conclude that these hidden brain supplements offer unfortunately no real value for practitioners.
