    Study Notes

    Attention and Memory

    • The 7 +/- 2 rule suggests short-term memory can hold approximately 5-9 items at a time, impacting attention and active processing.

    Just Noticeable Difference (JND) and Weber's Law

    • JND is the smallest detectable change in a stimulus.
    • Weber's Law states JND is a constant proportion of the original stimulus.

    Mere Exposure Effect

    • The mere exposure effect describes how repeated exposure to a stimulus can lead to a more positive perception.

    Short-Term Memory (STM) and Long-Term Memory (LTM)

    • LTM has a large, virtually unlimited capacity, storing information for extended periods.
    • STM has limited capacity and stores information temporarily, typically for about 20 seconds.

    Primacy and Recency Effects

    • Primacy effect: Items at the beginning of a list are more easily recalled.
    • Recency effect: Items at the end of a list are more easily recalled. These effects influence how consumers remember marketing messages.

    Proactive Interference

    • Proactive interference occurs when older memories obstruct the recall of new memories.

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    • Maslow's hierarchy of needs includes physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs. Individuals are often motivated to fulfill basic needs before focusing on more advanced needs.

    Approach and Avoidance Goals

    • Approach goals focus on achieving desired outcomes.
    • Avoidance goals focus on avoiding undesirable outcomes. Marketers use these to structure campaigns.

    Enduring and Situational Involvement

    • Enduring involvement is long-term interest in a product or category.
    • Situational involvement is short-term interest driven by a specific situation.

    Piecemeal Miscomprehension

    • Piecemeal miscomprehension occurs when a consumer misunderstands parts of a message rather than the whole. This can be due to message complexity, incomplete information or lack of clarity.

    Attention and Perception Theories in Advertising

    • Attentional capture: Marketers use techniques like bold colors, contrasting visuals, or unexpected elements to grab attention.
    • Halo effect: A positive characteristic of a product influences the perception of other aspects.
    • Schema theory: Aligning with pre-existing consumer knowledge and expectations.

    Memory and Consumer Recall

    • Short-Term Memory (STM): STM has limited capacity and marketers need to ensure messages are simple, clear, and repeatable. Repetition enhances recall.
    • Long-Term Memory (LTM): Using semantic encoding to connect new information with existing knowledge. Strong emotion-evoking advertisements are effective at integrating information into LTM.
    • Primacy/Recency Effect: The first and last items in a sequence are more easily remembered.
    • Interference: New information disrupts the recall of old memories. Consistency with a brand message reduces interference.

    Applications of Maslow's Hierarchy

    • Physiological needs: basic needs like food and water (e.g., fast food, beverage brands).
    • Safety needs: physical and financial security (e.g., insurance companies).
    • Love and belonging needs: connection and relationships (e.g., social media).
    • Esteem needs: status and self-respect (e.g., luxury brands).
    • Self-actualization needs: personal growth and potential (e.g., brands emphasizing achievement and improvement).

    Motivational Factors in Consumer Decisions

    • Approach versus Avoidance goals affect consumer purchase decisions.
    • Enduring versus Situational involvement: long-term vs. short-term interest.

    Attitudes and Marketing Strategies

    • Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA): Consumer attitudes and subjective norms influence behavior.
    • Balance theory: Consumers seek consistency in attitudes.
    • Source credibility/power: Credible sources can influence attitudes.

    Glossary of Key Terms

    • 7+/-2 rule: Short-term memory can usually hold approximately 5-9 items.
    • Just Noticeable Difference (JND): Smallest perceptible difference in a stimulus.
    • Weber's Law: JND is proportional to the original stimulus intensity.
    • Mere Exposure Effect: Repeated exposure increases liking.
    • Explicit memory: Conscious recollection of information.
    • Implicit memory: Unconscious recall (skills, habits).
    • Sensory memory: Brief storage of sensory information.
    • Primacy Effect: Better recall of early items in a sequence.
    • Recency Effect: Better recall of recent items in a sequence.
    • Proactive Interference: Older memories disrupt recall of newer ones.
    • Retroactive Interference: Newer memories disrupt recall of older ones.
    • Hedonic needs: Desire for pleasure and enjoyment.
    • Utilitarian needs: Desire for practical or functional benefits.
    • Symbolic needs: Desire for self-image or social status.
    • Approach goals: Desires for attaining a desirable outcome.
    • Avoidance goals: Desires for avoiding an undesirable outcome.
