Answer: This is an example of SUBLIMINAL PERCEPTION.

Explanation: Subliminal perception refers to any message, either auditory or visual that an individual receive from their senses but are not consciously aware of happening.

In Subliminal perception,btge registration of stimuli is usually below the level of awareness, either too weak or too rapid for an individual to consciously perceive them. In the case of Alba, the messages are too rapid ("exposed to MANY advertising messages from fast food restaurants each day")

Answer:

sensory overload

Explanation:

Sensory overload is known to occur when one or more senses of the body are over stimulated. This means that the input from the senses is actually more than what the brain can sort through and process.

In this case, Alba rarely process the messages that she was exposed to because the information that is coming from the senses to the brain is more than what her brain can sort through and process. This means that her senses are over stimulated, and it is being referred to as sensory overload.

Note that, removing or excusing oneself from the situation, focusing on the body, and staying off the sources of the information are ways to treat over stimulation.
