This video is a prime example of how advertising companies use priming to get us to buy their products. The break down of how this process precisely works starts with an experience, which then leads to creating a stimulus that then sends a signal to start the process to perceive the experience by recognizing the stimulus by incorporating prior knowledge, opinions, and beliefs. This experiment exemplifies how we perceive the world around us, and how the images surrounding our daily activities can influence what we think. By the subjects incorporating all of the images that were strategically placed along the subject's route to the office, supports that perceiving is believing. Many advertising companies take advance of the fact that we believe what we perceive through subliminal advertising, which works by subconsciously appealing to viewers, or at least to help them to visually remember the product that is being showcased.

Addressing this is the Self Perception theory, which plays the idea that people create their attitudes by observing their own behavior and then making an assumption on what attitudes must have caused it. I found this video to relate well to perception, but also to exemplify just how powerful our brains truly can be. An interesting concept, I thought. I hope you do too!
