Q

____ Memory: A personal storehouse of knowledge about products and services, shopping, and consumption experiences

Q

How is __ organized? __ __ In the LTM, each piece of info (node) is conceptually associated with other nodes via links

Related nodes are connected in a complex associative network - closely related nodes are connected by chains or series of association, distantly related nodes are connected by chains or series of activation. Links in networks created through knowledge and experience

Spreading activation: when pp retrieve a particular node, they often think of the other nodes that are closely related to them

Q

Q

7 sins of memory. 1. Transience: ___ and ___.

— Blast strategy:

Time and Forgetting

17
Q

—7 sins of memory. 2. ___ __

18
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: _____

Many different pathways:

Visual: the __ to picture images. More powerful when we remember words that lend themselves to images vs abstract low-imagery words

Acoustic: the __ of sound

Semantic: the __ of meaning

  • learning is easier when something has meaning
  • imagery + semantic is best
  • self-reference effect
A

Encoding

19
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: _____ Encoding

a) Mnemonic devices help us remember info (ROY G BIV) Chunking: organizing items into familiar, manageable units(IBM)
b) Hierarchies: subdividing concepts from broad to narrow helps encoding (lecture notes in outline)

A

Enhancing Encoding

20
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: _____ Encoding

c) Recirculation (simple repetition) - based on mere exposure (Burton Snowboard product placement in snowboard sony video games “repetition, repetition”)

d) Rehearsal (think about info and its meaning to
remember)

— e) Elaboration (process at deeper levels)
— Relate to prior knowledge or past experiences
— Things that grab attention often lead to elaboration
(especially interesting puzzles)
— Children and elderly less likely to elaborate

recirculation < rehearsal < elaboration

A

Enhancing Encoding

21
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: Encoding: _____

Recognition: determining whether a stimulus has been
encountered before
— Brand and ad recognition

— Recall: retrieve information from memory
— Free recall vs. cued recall

Does the consumer need to recognize the product or recall it? Recognize the soap brand in the store or remember the place to go for lunch

A

Retrival

22
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: Encoding: ____

high-frequency words or names with heavy exposure
better

— Transmission time to transfer from STM to LTM is
shorter (2-5 sec)

— Implication: commercials don’t have to be as long,
repeated as frequently, or attract as much attention
to achieve recognition.

A

Recognition

23
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: Encoding: ____

Only recalled brands will be in consideration set
—
Time to transfer is longer (5-10 sec) so need more
sustained attention so you need— longer commercials that captivate

— -Names that evoke rich imagery
— -Novel or unexpected
— -Suggest the product or service and its benefits

A

Recall

24
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: Enhancing ___.

Processing in STM (discursive vs imagery)

A

Enhancing Retrieval

25
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: Enhancing ___.

  • Primary and regency (ordering of ads, least likely to remember what’s in the middle : want to be in the beginning or at the end)
    -Salience (break from existing schemas)
    -Prototypically (for event/context)
    • Redundant cues (more associations to start retrival)
      Brand/catchphrase/spokesperson
      -Zeigarnik Effect
      Involved in task that is interrupted —> material during interrupted task higher recall
      Expectancy violations
    • Holiday Rom Com and Sears
    • Anime Race and Geico
A

Enhancing Retrieval

26
Q

7 sins of memory. 2. Absent-Mindedness: ___ Cues.

    — - Store context different from learning context
    —

A

Retrieval cues

27

Blocking

28
Q

7 Sins of Memory 3. ____

Associative Interference
— - New associations increase the complexity of
consumers’ associative networks.

associations.

— Retroactive: new material presented after old material has
been learned interferes with recall of old material

— Proactive: material learned prior to new material interferes
with learning of new material

Suggestibility

33
Q

7 Sins of Memory 6. _____

Ambiguous product experiences are open to multiple interpretations

  • Not forgetting things that we want to forget
    • Traumatic events

Persistence

35
Q

—Take-aways: ____

Develop messages that match capacity level of
consumers’ STM

or visual information as well as verbal info
— Construct messages inconsistent with

characteristics in order to minimize
interference from competing material

A

memory

36
Q

— Interruptions in ads can enhance recall
Take- aways: ____

— For rapid awareness, high frequency (burst
strategy).
— For best memory in long term, pulsing strategy
— Don’t bury key product info in middle of
