Stimuli
In the context of market research, stimuli are auditory, visual, or physical components of a research session that are used to evoke a reaction out of participants. The benefits of including a stimulus include making a session engaging, for example providing a tangible mock-up of a new packaging design mirrors the real-life situation of viewing the packing in a physical store.
