NLP
Defining NLP………….. "a model of interpersonal
communication chiefly concerned with the
relationship between successful patterns of
behavior and the subjective experiences (esp.
patterns of thought) underlying them" and "a
system of alternative therapy based on this which
seeks to educate people in self-awareness and
effective communication, and to change their
patterns of mental and emotional behavior".[1]
1 Oxford English Dictionary
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
NeuroAll behavior stems from our neurological
processes of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch
and feeling.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
LinguisticIndicates that we use language to order our
thoughts and behavior and to communicate
with others
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
ProgrammingRefers to ways we can choose to organize our
ideas and actions to produce results
Neuro-Linguistic Programing
Subliminal stimuli (pronounced , literally "below threshold"), contrary to
supraliminal stimuli or "above threshold", are any sensory stimuli below an
individual's absolute threshold for conscious perception. Visual stimuli may be
quickly flashed before an individual may process them, or flashed and then
masked, thereby interrupting the processing. Audio stimuli may be played below
audible volumes, similarly masked by other stimuli, or recorded backwards in a
process called backmasking. Introduced in 1895, the concept became
controversial as "subliminal messages" in 1957 when marketing practitioners
claimed its potential use in persuasion. The near-consensus among research
psychologists is that subliminal messages do not produce a powerful, enduring
effect on behavior;[1] and that laboratory research reveals little effect beyond a
subtle, fleeting effect on thinking. Apart from their controversial use in marketing
and media psychology, subliminal stimuli are employed in scientific research on
perception without awareness, or unconscious perception.
