Chapter 5 Flashcards
What are the two types of learning? What are the four elements?
Intentional vs incidental learning (searching on purpose or accidentally learning)
Four elements:
- Motives
- Cues
- Responses
- Reinforcement
What are some applications of classical conditioning?
Associative learning
Need for repetition
- advertising wear-out
- three-hit theory
Stimulus generalization
Stimulus discrimination
What is stimulus generalization?
Product line extensions
Product form extensions
Family branding
Licensing
Consumers will respond in the same way to slightly different stimuli. Me too product hopes consumers will generalize
What is stimulus discrimination?
Brand differentiation
Market leaders want consumers to distinguish between products and imitators
Relevant, meaningful, valuable differentiation
What is the difference between positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement?
What is the difference between negative reinforcement and punishment?
- Rewarding the consumer with a good fitting pair or jeans, or good price
- Punishment would be driving on the highway too fast and getting a speeding ticket, but for a car the negative reinforcement of ice could encourage you to buy to tires and take it as an informent
What is incentivized advertising?
Provides consumer with rewards for watching ads, as consumers may try to avoid ads
What are reinforcement schedules?
They are:
Continuous
Fixed ratio
Variable ratio
Ex. Free dessert!
What is the difference between extinction and forgetting?
Extinction occurs when a learned response is no longer reinforced and the link between the stimulus and the expected reward is eliminated.
Forgetting is the point at which the link between the stimulus and the expected reward ceases to exist
What is customer satisfaction and retention?
Satisfaction and repeat patronage
Frequent shopper programs
Shaping (ex. Gift as you enter the store or a free test drive)
Mass vs distributed learning?
Should a learning schedule be spread out over a period of time?
Should a learning schedule be bunched up all at once?
What is observational learning?
Also known as modeling, observational learning occurs when people observe and later imitate observed behaviours
What is sensory store?
A location in the brain where the sensory input lasts for just a second or two. If its not processed immediately it is lost
What are the components of information processing?
Storing information
- Sensory store
- Short term storage
- Long term storage
Rehearsal
- encoding
- information overload
Retention
- Chunking
- Retrieval
Information Overload?
A situation that occurs when consumers receive too much information and find it difficult to encode and store it
What are some methods of retaining information
- Brand imprinting
-Sound symbolism - linguistic characteristics
