Érzetalapú

Érzetalapú is a Hungarian adjective used to describe processes, approaches, or systems that are based on sensory perception, feeling, or lived experience rather than purely abstract reasoning or theoretical models. The term is formed from érzet (sensation, feeling) and alapú (based on).

In practice, érzetalapú approaches emphasize subjective experience and qualitative data gathered from individuals or users. They are employed in fields such as pedagogy (érzetalapú tanítás), design and human-computer interaction (érzetalapú felhasználói élmény), marketing (érzetalapú kommunikáció), and cognitive or experiential sciences. Such approaches aim to reflect how people perceive, interpret, and react to real-world stimuli, often prioritizing usability, comfort, aesthetics, and emotional resonance over formal theory.

However, érzetalapú methods can present challenges, including subjectivity, variability across individuals, and difficulties in replication or generalization across larger populations. They are frequently contrasted with theory-driven, data-driven, or model-based approaches, serving as a descriptive label rather than a fixed method. In contemporary discourse, érzetalapú perspectives are common in discussions of experiential learning, user experience design, and consumer research, where the goal is to align products, services, or curricula with lived human experience.
