Test 2 Flashcards
process of remembering or accessing what was previously stored in memory
retrieval
input from the five senses store temporarily in memory
sensory memory
portion of memory where incoming info is encoded or interpreted in the context of existing knowledge, and kept available for more processing
working memory
type of processing that resembles closely to what the object looks feels like
imagery processing
part of memory where info is permanently stored for later use
long term memory
knowledge we have about ourselves and our personal past experiences, including emotions and sensation
episodic (autobiographical) memory
one vivid event produces strong lasting memory
operant conditioning
general knowledge about an entity, detached from specific episodes
semantic memory
when consumers consciously aware that they remember something
explicit memory
memory without any conscious attempt at remembering something
implicit memory
process of identifying whether we have previously encountered a stimulus when re-exposed to it
recognition
the ability to retrieve info from memory without being reexposed to it
recall
how we organize knowledge
knowledge structure
set of associations linked to a concept
schema
process by which retrieving a concept or association spreads to retrieval or a related concept or association
spreading of activation
increased sensitivity to certain concepts and associations due to prior experience based on implicit memory
priming
3 dimensions crucial to maintaining strong brands
favorability, uniqueness, salience
specific type of schema that captures what a brand stands for and how favorably it is viewed
brand image
set of associations included in a schema that reflect a brands personification
brand personality
special type of schema that represents knowledge of a sequence of actions involved in performing an activity
script
using the brand name of a product with a well-developed image on a product in a different category
brand extension
how consumers classify a group of objects in memory in an orderly often hierarchical way, based on their similarity to one another, coke, diet, coke pepsi as soft drinks
taxonomic categories
best example of a cognitive category
prototype
object is rep of its category
prototypicallity
broadest level of hierarchical categorization
superordinate level
finest level of hierarchical differentiation
subordinate level
things viewed as belonging in same category because they serve the same goals, baby wipes, powder, diapers
goal derived category
theory describing dif levels of abstractness in the associations that a consumer has about concepts and how the consumers psychological distance from these concepts influences his behavior
construal level theory
weakening of memory strength over time
decay
when the strength of a memory deteriorates over time because of competing memories
interferences
tendency to show greater memory for info that comes first or last in sequence
primacy and recency effect
stimulus that facilitates activation of a memory
retrieval cue
process by which consumer comes in physical contact with stimulus
exposure
information about offerings communicated either by the marketer or by nonmarketing sources
marketing stimuli
fast forwarding through commercials on a program recorded earlier
zipping
use of a remote control to switch channels during commercial breaks
zapping
how much mental activity a consumer devotes to a stimulus
attention
nonconscious processing of stimuli in peripheral vision
preattentive processing
best at processing music, graphing visual, and spatial info, forming inferences, and drawing conclusions
right hemisphere
processing unite that can be combined, counting, unfamiliar words, forming sentences
left hemisphere
intensity of stimuli that causes them to stand out relative to the environment
prominence
extent to which stimuli is capable of being imagined
concreteness
process by which stimulus loses attention getting abilities by virtue of its familiarity
habituation
process of determining the properties of stimuli using vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch
perception
using music or sounds to identify a brand
sonic identity
gathering info from hearing brands name
sound symbolism
minimal level of stimulus intensity needed to detect stimulus
absolute threshold
intensity difference needed between two stimuli before they are perceived to be different, detecting dif between two eye lenses
differential threshold
activation of sensory receptors by stimuli presented below the perceptual threshold
subliminal perception
subliminal ads influence people against their will
strong effect
sub advertising influence people in ways consistent with their current goals
weak effect
process by which stimuli are organized into meaningful units
perceptual organization
people interpret stimuli in context of background
figure and ground
individuals need to organize perceptions so they form a meaningful whole
closure
tendency to group stimuli to form a unified picture or impression, napkins by napkin holders
grouping
tendency to perceive more value in whole than in combined parts that make up a whole
bias for the whole
process of extracting higher order meaning from what we perceived in the context of what we already know
comprehension
process of determining what the perceived stimulus actually is
source identification
