exposure to information
selective attention
comprehension
agreement
retention in memory
retrieval
consumer decision-making
action
|
|
perception
|
the process by which an individual selects, organizes, and interprets stimuli into a meaningful and coherent picture of the world
|
|
perception

how we see the world around us
|
|
Elements of Perception
|
-sensation
-absolute threshold
-differential threshold
-subliminal perception
|
|
sensation
|
the immediate and direct response of the sensory organs to stimuli
|
|
sensation
|
a stimulus is any unit of input to any of the senses
|
|
absolute threshold
|
lowest level at which an individual can experience a sensation
|
|
differential threshold
|
minimal difference that can be detected between two similar stimuli
*weber's law
|
|
Weber's Law
|
The just noticable difference of a stimulus is a constant proportion despite variations in intensity.
|
|
Weber's Law
|
the just noticable distance is proportional to the magnitude of the stimulus
|
|
Subliminal Perception
|
stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard may be strong enough to be perceived by one or more receptor cells
|
|
subliminal perception
|
seeing or hearing messages without being aware of them
the registration of sensory input without conscious awareness
|
|
aspects of perception
|
selection
organization
interpretation
|
|
perceptual selection
|
consumers subconsciously are selective as to what they perceive
people attend to only a small portion of the stimuli to which they are exposed
|
|
Gestalt Laws of Perceptual Organization
|
similarity, proximity, closure, figure and ground, and grouping
|
|
perceptual organization
|
task of determining what edges and other stimuli go together to form an object
subjective contours - organizes elements into shape by creating imaginary connecting lines
|
|
interpretation
|
subjective
could be distorted
appearance
stereotypes
halo effect
grouping brands together
love/hate products
|
|
Positioning
|
establishing a specific image for a brand in the consumer's mind
product is positioned in relation to competing brands
|
|
positioning
|
conveys the concept, or meaning, of the product in terms of how it fulfills a consumer need
result of successful positioning is a distinctive, positive brand image
|
|
perceptual mapping
|
research technique that enables marketers to plot graphically consumers perceptions concerning product attributes of specific brands
|
|
perceptual mapping
|
A visual, spatial display of customer perceptions that allows monitoring of product positioning relative to other products
|
|
Price Perceived Quality Relationship
|
the higher the price, the higher the perceived quality
|
|
learning
|
the process by which individuals acquire the purchase and consumption knowledge and experience that they apply to future related behavior
|
|
marketing implications
|
assist product adoption
create distinct brand image
neutralize competitors effort
|
|
learning theories
|
behavioral and cognitive
|
|
behavioral theories
|
learning based on observable behavior (responses) that occur as the result of exposure to stimuli
|
|
cognitive theories
|
learning based on mental information processing
often in response to problem solving
|
|
elements of learning theories
|
motivation
cues
response
reinforcement
|
|
behavioral learning theories
|
classical conditioning
instrumental conditioning
modeling or observational learning
|
|
classical conditioning
|
stimulus is paired with another stimulus that elicits a known response that serves to produce the same response when used alone
|
|
What is classical conditioning
|
when a neutral stimulus evokes a response after being paired with a stimulus that naturally evokes a response
|
|
operant conditioning
(instrumental)
|
based on trial-and-error process, with habits forced as the result of positive experiences (reinforcement) resulting from certain responses or behaviors
|
|
operant conditioning
|
a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher.
|
|
types of reinforcement
|
positive, negative, forgetting, extinction
|
|
mktg implications of operant conditioning
|
customer satisfaction (reinforcement)
reinforcement schedules
continuous
fixed ratio
random
shaping
massed vs distributed learning
|
|
observational learning
|
individ. observe how others behave in response to certain stimuli and reinvorcements
aka modeling or vicarious learning
|
|
cognitive learning theory
|
the kind of learning most characteristic of human beings is problem solving, which enables individuals to gain some control over their environment
|
|
information processing
|
individuals differ in imagery
their ability to form mental images which influences recall
|
|
memory
|
the related issues of what consumers remember about marketing stimuli and how they access and retrieve info when making consumption choices
|
|
episodically
|
info is stored by the order in which it is acquired
|
|
semantically

memory is stored according to significant concepts
|
|
schema

|
|
involvement theory
|
consumer relevance
central and peripheral routes to persuasion
measure of involvement
|
|
consumer relevance
|
involvement depends on degree of personal relevance
high involvement is
very important to the consumer
provokes extensive problem solving
|
|
central route to persuasion
|
for high involvement purchases
requires cognitive processing
|
|
peripheral route to persuasion
|
low involvement
consumer less motivated to think
