Memory . . .
. . . affects the exposure, attention,
and comprehension stages
. . . allows consumers to anticipate the
stimuli they might encounter

Multiple-Store Model of Memory
• Three different types of memory storage:
– Sensory Memory
– Short-Term Memory
– Long-Term Memory

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 5/60
• Sensory memory happens in the pre-attention
stage where a stimulus is briefly analyzed todetermine if it will receive additionalprocessing.
• Short-term memory is where information is
temporarily stored while people are activelyprocessing it. Is like RAM in a computer.
• Long-term memory is connected to short-
term memory through encoding and retrievalprocesses. Is like the disk drive in acomputer.
• Memory works like parallel processors.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 6/60
• Encoding is the transfer of information
from short-term memory to long-termmemory for permanent storage.
Retrieval is the process of accessinginformation stored in long-term memory
so that it can be utilized in short-termmemory.
• Retrieval is a constructive process.
Information in ads received afterproduct experience can change theperception of the experience.

Sensory Memory . . .
. . . consists of firingof nerve cells, short-term in duration,usually less than a
second.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 9/60
Short-Term Memory. . .
. . . is the site where information istemporarily stored while being processed.
Is also called working memory.
– Rehearsal is silently repeating information toencode it into long-term memory.
– Elaboration means allocating processingcapacity to comprehend the information
– If information in short-term memory is notrehearsed/elaborated, it is lost within 30
seconds.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 10/60
The Limited Capacity of Short-Term Memory:Miller’s Law
• Miller’s Law is the recognition that people can handle 7(+/- 2) bits of information at a time. – In consumer contexts, however, STM is closer to 5 +/- 2 bits of
information.
• Information Overload describes the situation in whichmore information is received than can be processed inshort-term memory.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 11/60
Marketing Implications
Two questions with marketing implications:
i. Can consumers become overloaded? Researchhas yielded an unequivocal yes to the question
ii. Do consumers become overloaded? Argubale:
a. No: People actively manage the informationthey receive to avoid becoming overloaded i.e. ―stop far short of being overloaded‖
b. Yes: Because this information overload actuallydecreases the quality of their purchase decision
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 12/60
Involvement & Short-Term Capacity
• High involvement makes the consumer morearoused and attentive, expanding the short-termmemory capacity to full 7 +/-2 bits. (Some
chemicals including caffeine has the same effect.)• Low involvement tends to keep a consumer’s
arousal levels low so the consumer focusesrelatively little memory capacity on the stimulus.
Under low involvement, capacity is at 5 +/-1 bits.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 13/60
Marketing Implications
For print media advertising:
For low involvement products keep copy
points maximum to four (copy point isconsidered equivalent to a chunk) .
For electronic media advertising, follow
the KISS rule (― Keep It Simple, Stupid!‖).
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 14/60
Time Required to Transfer
Information. . .. . . the consumer's goal to eitherrecognize or recall a task. Itrequires 2-5 seconds for recognition
task and 5-10 seconds for recalltask to transfer the information toLTM.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 15/60
Recognition and Recall
• Recognition tasks are when information is placedbefore the consumer. The goal is to determine if the information has been seen before.
• Recall tasks are when the consumer must retrievethe information from long-term memory with thehelp of cues but without prompting. Requiresgreater depth of encoding. Recall impacts the size
of the consideration set, which is the set of product choices retrieved from memory that aredeemed satisfactory options.

Long-Term Memory
. . . has essentially unlimited capacity to store
information permanently. – Stored information is either semantic or visual.
Semantic memory deals with the encoding andstorage of words and meanings. Visual deals with
the storage of images. – Long term memory is essentially permanent.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 18/60
Relative Superiority of Picture Versus Word Memory
– Visual images or pictures tend to be morememorable than their verbal counterparts,especially when there is low-involvement on thepart of the consumer.
– Words that have high-imagery content are easierto encode and retrieve than words low in imageryand concreteness.
– Words and pictures should be used to complementeach other in ads.
– Verbal material is better recalled in highinvolvement conditions.
– In high involvement information processingadvertisers usually get better results if theypresent different information via verbal andpictorial means
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 19/60
Memory-Control Processes . . .
. . . are the methods of handling informationwhich may operate
consciously orunconsciously toinfluence the encoding,placement, and retrieval
of information.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 20/60
Encoding Process
Rehearsal and Elaboration influence whether or notinformation will be transferred from STM to LTM
The way information is coded will have great impacton speed of transfer as well as on the placement of that information
For a new topic greater amount of rehearsal orelaboration is required
With familiar topics person becomes more adept atcoding information on it by drawing associations
between it and the information they already have inmemory, and storage process speeds upproportionally
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 21/60
Encoding Process
Marketing Implications:
i. Understanding of encoding process in developingbrands
ii. The closer the brand name fits with consumer’sassociation about the product class, the better will behis/her ability to recall the name
iii. Highly concrete names ( ocean, orchestra, frog, andblossom) are easily visualized and remembered betterthan less concrete names (history, truth, moment)
because they are coded both visually and verbally andalso because they fit better into consumer’s existingknowledge structure.

Retrieval and Response
Generation• Response generation is when a person developsa response by actively reconstructing thestimulus.
• Retrieval cues create a response by providing ameans of assisting the active reconstruction of the stimulus.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 23/60
Retrieval and response GenerationMarketing Implications
A major goal of marketers is to improveconsumer’s ability to retrieve information frommemory. E.g.
i. Providing retrieval cues on the packaging of products (such as logo, color etc.) to assistconsumer’s memories during decision making.
ii. Assisting consumers’ retrieval and responsegeneration to employ music in advertisements.There is evidence that people retrieve sungmessages better than spoken one

Consumer Knowledge . . .
. . . is the amount of experience with and
information a person has about particularproducts or services.
– As knowledge increases, a consumer canthink about a product across a greaternumber of dimensions and make finerdistinctions between brands.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 25/60
Three Types of Knowledge:
• Objective knowledge is the correctinformation about a product class that aconsumer has stored in long-term memory
• Subjective knowledge is the consumer’sperception of what or how much he or sheknows about a product class.
• Knowledge of others is what information aconsumer has about another.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 26/60
How Do Consumers Gain
Knowledge?• Cognitive Learning: process of
forming associations, solving
problems, and gaining insights.• Learning Through Education:
Receiving information from firms who
are trying to teach the consumer.• Learning Through Experience: Actualcontact/use of products.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 27/60
Consumer KnowledgeMarketing Implications
i. As consumers’ knowledge increases, theybecome better organized, grow more efficientand accurate in their information processing,and display better recall of information.
ii. Information on the extent of consumerknowledge should influence promotionstrategy. A message targeted toknowledgeable prospects can be much morecomplex than addressed to a novice

Gestalt Theory of CognitiveKnowledge
Gestalt psychologists believe that physiological andpsychological events do not influence behavior
in isolation of each other.
– Key idea: whole is greater than sum of parts.
– E.g. Perception of service quality in a restaurant(physiological) could be directly influenced by the
quality of time spent there with friends/family(psychological)

Associationist Approaches to
Cognitive Knowledge1. The Serial-Position Effect:
• Serial learning concerns how people put intomemory and recall information that is receivedin a sequential manner.
• Serial-Position effect occurs when the order of presentation of information in a list influencesrecall of the information in the list.
• The S-P effect is the basis for the higher pricepaid for book-end ads — i.e., ads at thebeginning and end of a commercial TV break.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 30/60
Serial Position Effect
Explanation:Beginning and end of the list become anchors inlearning. Because of limitation of STM, people
pick reference points for when to start and endthe learning process. Since only limited amountsof information can be stored in STM at a time, itis those items right around the beginning andend of the list (the reference points) that are
recalled most readily. Many more repetitions of the material may be required before items in themiddle can be recalled
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 31/60
Serial Position Effect
Marketing Implications
i. Key information in the advertisement
should be placed at the beginning andend of the message
ii. Advertisers should strive to get theircommercials placed either at thebeginning or end of series of televisionads

2. Paired Associate Learning• Consumers learn to pair response words/objects
with stimulus• Example – Brands & Tag Lines: Addidas – ―Impossible is nothing‖ McDonalds – ― I’m lovin it‖
Nike – ―Just do it‖ Mountain Dew – ―Do the Dew‖ • Example – Brands & Celebrities • Rolex & Roger Federer
• Nike & Maria Sherapova• Tag Heur and SRK • Pepsi & Shahid Afridi
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 34/60
Conditions for paired associatelearning
• The response words are easily pronounceable
• Consumer is familiar with both the stimulus(brand) and response object (endorser)
• Stimulus and response words are meaningful
• The stimulus and response words are easilyassociated (make sense)
• Caution: Sometimes negative associations canalso occur between (stimulus) brand andresponse object (endorser)

Semantic Memory Networks . .
.. . . refer to how people store themeanings of verbal material in long-
term memory. – Semantic memory is organized into
networks each of which is a series of memory nodes that represent the storedsemantic concepts.
– Information is recalled via spreadingactivation.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 36/60
Five Types of Information Stored in Nodes
• Types of information – Brand names
– Brand’s characteristics/attributes
– Ads about brand – Product category
– Evaluative (affective) reactions to the brand and thead
• This information represents a consumer’s brandknowledge — i.e., a brand node and theassociations in memory connected to it.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 37/60
Measuring Semantic MemoryNetworks
• Guided Associations
• Think of your university
– What are the first three words or images thatcome to mind. (e.g., BBA, teachers, courses)
– Select one of these words (e.g. BBA); now
think of three words or images that youassociate with fashion, etc.

Schemas . . .
. . . are organized sets of expectations andassociations about an object.
– When new information is inconsistent with a
schema, consumers engage in more diligentprocessing and, consequently, have improvedmemory about the stimulus.
– Can derive from network analysis.
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 40/60
Forgetting
People forget because
even though informationhas been placed in long-term memory, it may beextremely difficult toretrieve. This is called a
―retrieval failure.‖

Interference
• Interference occurs when:
• later learned material interferes with the
recall of information learned earlier.OR
• earlier learned material interferes withlearning and recall of information learnedlater.

Time and Forgetting
• In an experiment an advertisement for a product wasshown to a group of housewives once a week for 13weeks.
• At the end of 13 weeks period 63% of respondentscould recall having seen the ad. After this, the ad wasnot shown to them for 13 weeks. After 20 weeks, thosewho could recall had dropped to under 30%; by the 9th month fewer than 10% of respondents could rememberthe ad.
• In another experiment one group of housewives wasshown the same ad once a week with a gap of 4 weeks.In this group the ability to recall the ads increased
slowly; by the end of the year 48% of respondents couldremember the ad.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 51/60
Time and ForgettingMarketing Implications
i. If advertiser’s goal is awareness of a product, thanhigh frequency of ads over short period of time will bemost effective. However consumer will rapidly forgetthe commercial message after the burst of advertisements end
ii. If advertiser’s goal is to build long-term awareness of the ad, the commercial should be pulsed so that adsare seen by consumers over a long period of time
iii. Some advertisers prefer to combine these approachesby using a high-intensity ad campaign to bring out a
product, and then pulsing regularly after theintroduction to maintain consumer’s awareness of thead.

Affect and Memory
• People are better able to recall informationthat has the same affective quality as theirmood state.
– Affect refers to the feelings, emotions, andmoods that consumers may experience.
– Mood is a transient feeling state that occurs ina specified situation or time.

How Companies can help consumers remember
• Use Easy-to-remember stimuli
Use of concrete words instead of Abstract words
Use of Stimuli that are distinctive or
unique• Put Consumers in a good mood
Brand Image and Product Positioning

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 54/60
Brand Image and Product Positioning
• Brand Image
Schematic memory of a brand
It contains the consumer’s interpretation of theproduct’s attributes, benefits, usage situations, usersand manufacturers’ characteristics
It is what we think and feel when we hear or see abrand name
o Product Positioning A decision taken by marketers to try and achieve a
defined brand image relative to competition within amarket segment
Product positioning decisions are strategic (long-term)decisions
• Product Repositioning
Refers to a deliberate decision to significantly alter the way abrand is viewed by the consumer

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 57/60
Brand Equity and Brand Leverage• Brand Equity
The value consumers assign to a brand above and
beyond the functional characteristics of the productBrand Equity is nearly synonymous with Brand Image
A strong brand equity allows the company to have ―brand leverage‖
• Brand Leverage: Refers to marketers capitalizing on brand equity by
using existing brand for new products
If done correctly , consumers will assign
characteristics of existing brand to the new brand
Brand Leverage
7/27/2019 Memory & Cognitive Learning.ppt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/memory-cognitive-learningppt 58/60
Brand LeverageSuccessful brand leverage requires that:a. Original brand has a strong positive image
b. The new product fits well with the originalproduct on at-least one of the threedimensions:
1. Complement: The two products are used
together.2. Transfer: The new product is seen by
consumers as requiring the same
manufacturing skills as the original3. Image: The new product shares a keyimage component with the original

Brand Leverage Strategies
• Examples of Line Extension: Variants by Sunsilk,Pantene ; new flavors introduced by Lays, Cornettoetc.
• Examples of Brand Extension: Lifebuoy shampoo;
Gillette aftershave, body sprays etc.• Examples of Multibrands: One company marketing
several brands in the same product category – e.g.Head & Shoulders, Pantene and Herbal Essences (by
P & G); Lux, Rexona and Lifebuoy soaps (byUnilever)
• Examples of New Brands: New product category (forthe company), with a new brand – Omore by Engro
