Lesson 11 Videos Flashcards
Sensory memory
input from the five senses stored temporarily in memory.
Echoic memory
Hearing
Iconic memory
Seeing
Olfactory memory
Smell
Failing to remember is a ___ ___ in consumer behavior
common occurrence
Such memory failures in the context of product purchase and consumption translate into
lost sales and profits
Consumers’ ability to remember also plays a role in
advertising effectiveness
Advertising’s long-term effects may depend on
consumer memory.
Advertising may focus on activating consumers’ memory of
past consumption experiences.
Consumer memory is also an important part of
nostalgia advertising appeals which evoke favorable memories of the past.
For all these reasons (and many more) - businesses’ best interests lie in
helping consumers remember.
Cognitive learning:
getting information into memory. Occurs when info processed in short-term memory is stored in long-term memory.
Retrieval:
Learning is only one part of remembering. The other part of remembering is - getting it back out.
Rehearsal
involves the mental repetition of information or, the recycling of information through short-term memory.
Rehearsal may be described as
a form of inner speech.
Rehearsal serves two functions:
Helps maintain information in short-term memory.
Aids in the transfer of information from short-term memory to…long-term memory.
Elaboration
is the degree of integration between the stimulus and existing knowledge.
Elements of Cognitive Learning
Rehearsal
Elaboration
Mental Representations
At greater levels of elaboration, more links between the…
new information and information stored in memory are created.
Greater elaboration leads to…
greater learning.
Using low level of elaboration to remember a license plate number:
Using greater level of elaboration to remember the same license plate number:
A J N 2 6 8
JAN 16
The amount of Elaboration that occurs during info processing depends on the person’s motivation & ability to do so
Motivation
Ability
Ability to learn depends on
knowledge –which allows more meaningful elaboration.
Motivation plays a role in
the amount of elaboration a person employs to remember.
Intentional learning
Incidental learning
Mental Representations
the particular manner in which information is stored in long-term memory.
Stimuli may be stored in same form in which they appear, or transformed (eg: the price of a dress may be remembered as $200 or as ‘expensive’).
Dual coding
proposes that information can be stored in both semantic and visual forms.
Types of Mental Representations
Dual coding
Associative network
Associative network
memory nodes containing bits of information are linked to other memory nodes in a series of hierarchical networks.
Having multiple representations increases the
number of possible mental pathways that can be traveled when trying to remember.
