Study Notes
Different Types of Memory
- Sensory Memory: Temporary storage of information from the five senses; includes echoic (hearing), iconic (seeing), and olfactory (smelling) memories.
- Working Memory: Information that is actively processed and interpreted alongside existing knowledge, involving discursive and imagery processing.
- Long-Term Memory (LTM): Consists of episodic (autobiographical) and semantic memory, allowing for retention of past experiences and facts; can be influenced through techniques like operant conditioning and cueing.
- Explicit Memory: Conscious recall of information.
- Implicit Memory: Unconscious retention of information, often linked to processing fluency.
Knowledge Content and Structure
- Schemas: Sets of associations around a concept that help organize knowledge, crucial for consumer understanding and behavior.
- Scripts: Special schema representing the sequence of actions in an activity, aiding in consumer decision-making.
- Associative Networks: Connections between related concepts; can be activated through priming which influences consumer perception and response.
Brand Schemas and Personality
- Brand Schemas: Represent the associations linked to a brand, affecting brand image and personality.
- Brand Personality Framework: Describes the human traits associated with a brand, shaping consumer perception and loyalty.
Knowledge Categories
- Taxonomic Category Structure: Organizes products into categories and subcategories based on associations and prototypicality.
- Hierarchical Structure: Ranges from superordinate (broad categories) to subordinate (specific items), influencing how brands are perceived.
- Goal-derived Categories: Products grouped by shared consumer goals, which can shift over time based on consumer needs.
Memory and Retrieval
- Memory Retrieval: The process of recalling stored information, critical for influencing consumer choices and the effectiveness of advertising.
- Retrieval Failures: Can occur due to factors like the serial-position effect, decay over time, and interference from other information; mitigated through repetition and targeted messaging.
Enhancing Retrieval Techniques
- Recognition and Recall: Key methods for enhancing memory retrieval; effective advertising improves consumer memory through various strategies.
- Chunking: Organizing information into manageable units to aid memory.
- Elaboration: Adding meaningful details to information makes it easier to remember.
Characteristics of Stimuli Affecting Retrieval
- Salience: Distinctive qualities of stimuli that capture attention.
- Prototypicality: How representative a brand or product is of its category influences recall.
- Redundancy and Medium: Using repetitive and varied cues enhances memory retrieval.
Consumer Characteristics Impacting Retrieval
- Individual factors such as mood and level of product expertise influence memory retrieval, affecting overall consumer behavior and marketing effectiveness.
