Study Notes

Behavioral learning theories focus on external events and observable behavior.
Two major approaches to learning are classical conditioning and instrumental conditioning.
Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that elicits a response to create a conditioned response.
Conditioning effects are more likely to occur with repeated exposure and spaced exposures using different media.
Stimulus generalization refers to the tendency for similar stimuli to evoke similar conditioned responses.
Stimulus discrimination occurs when a similar stimulus does not result in the same response.
Marketers use conditioning to create associations between brand cues and basic drives.
Overexposure to a product can lead to extinction of the conditioned response.
Me-too products can piggyback on the success of established brands, but quality is a key factor in consumer perception.
Consumers learn to respond to rewards and punishments, which can influence future behavior.
