- Memory systems
sensory, working (short term), and Long term (LTM)
What are the 3 memory systems?
Memory systems
sensory, working (short term),
- and Long term (LTM)
What is Sensory Memory?
- storage of info that we received from all 5 senses
- info is stored automatically, and retained only briefly
- echoic: things we hear
- Iconic: things we see
- Olfactory memory: things we smell
What is working Memory?
- proportion of memory where we encode or interpret incoming info and keep it available for further processing
- short term memory
- stores info for limited amount of time
- level of MAO
What is Long Term Memory?
- Part of memory where info is permanently stored for later use - hoyer et al 2013
- episodic ( past experiences)
- semantic memory (general knowledge)
Marketing implications of memory?
IMAGE PROCESSING
-Improves the amount of information that can be processed
-Stimulates future choice
-Realistic imagery improves consumer satisfaction
LEVERAGING EPISODIC MEMORIES
-Promoting empathy and identification
-Cueing and preserving episodic memories
- Reinterpreting past consumption experience
How is Memory Enhanced?
- Recognition: The process of identifying whether we have previously encountered a stimulus when re-exposed to it.
- Recall: The ability to retrieve information from memory without being re-exposed it.
- Chunking:group of items that are processed as a unit
- Rehearsal:Active and conscious interaction with the material one is trying to remember
- Recirculation: Encountering info repeatedly
- Elaboration: transferring info to long term memory by at deeper levels.
