Subliminal ads, very quick visuals

Posted on 03/29/2009 6:20:17 PM PDT by motherof2

Does anyone know the current legality of subliminal messages? Have they reduced the amount of time a frame or series of frames need to play? It seems to me there has been an increase in either "mistakes" by the broadcaster ...where they start one video, and then cut it short and go to something else ...could be more errors,or perhaps they have shortened the legal length of time a frame(s) needs to show.

It was a courtesy ping.

I thought he might enjoy his usual in such matters.

Sometimes I try and help insure that he gets his recreational posting outlets.

The books authored decades ago by Wilson Bryan Key, Subliminal Seduction and it's successors, are still the classic texts in this area. Some of the photos in these early books are simply mind-bending.

My guess (and it is a guess, as I have no psychology background) is that images might work but words alone will not.

Flashing the word “thirst” would have no effect, but flashing a picture of a glass of cool clear water might. To extract meaning, the words have to be processed by our conscious mind. The image does not.

Part of the above could be called “subliminal,” the words “cool” and “clear” are designed to have pleasurable associations, yet add little to the objective description of a “glass of water.” The description of a “glass of cool, clear, water” probably evokes a (slightly) different reaction to the plainer “glass of water.”

Most advertisements are more overtly subliminal: attractive people having a great time all while drinking a particular brand of beer; a handsome, successful man driving a particular make of car, a happy family enjoying a particular pre-packaged meal; young people enjoying exciting action packed lives because they chose a particular type of sneaker. All of those could be called subliminal because they do not explicitly promise those things but do create a link in our mind.

Actually,

flashing some words has some effect.

Subliminal messages are an artifiact of the 70s. Simply BS.

Most advertising is conducted at the level of a yell because if is so difficult to get people’s attention.

Do you know how powerful that effect is?

Can more complex ideas be “implanted” (e.g., “vote obama,” “drink Coca-Cola”)?

Not very strong or enduring . . .

I don’t have any measure on such.

However, consider the powers of conditioning . . . 100’s of repetitions . . .

and sequences of conditioning built up over time . . .

all that could be quite powerful.
