Learning and Memory
Learning
Learning is relatively permanent change in long-term memory and/or behaviour, caused by experience
The four types of learning
- Direct learning, vicarious learning
- intentional learning, incidental learning
Direct Learning
Learning from ones own experience
Vicarious learning
Learning pipes, observing events that affect others
Intentional learning
An active and conscious attempt to learn something
Incidental learning
Learning that occurs casually and unintentionally
Unconditioned stimulus
Stimulus that automatically elicits involuntary response
Conditioned stimulus
Does not automatically an elicit response by itself
Classical conditioning
I repeatedly pairing unconditioned stimulus with the conditions stimulus, the unconditioned response can be elicited by the condition stimulus, this is the conditioned response.
Repetition
Repeated exposure increases the strength of a stimulus-response association, however, too much exposure causes advertising wear-out.
What is the optimal number of exposures?
10 to 15
Positive reinforcement
Come from a feeling of satisfaction and increases the probability that consumers will buy the same brand again
Negative reinforcement
Comes from bad experiences with the brand and consumers learn not to buy that brand again
Observational/vicarious learning
Modelling: imitating others behaviour - brutal behaviors, following a violent demonstration of an adult punching a “bobo doll”.
Memory
Acquiring information and storing it overtime for later retrieval
