subliminal cues

Below awareness prompts

Subliminal cues are signals that register below conscious awareness but still influence perception or behavior.

The term appears in psychology and marketing discussions: Advertisers embed subliminal cues to shape consumer preferences.

Whether such cues actually work as claimed remains disputed, but the concept persists in discussions of hidden influence and manipulation.
