Exam 2 Studying Flashcards
Three different types of memory storage systems
- sensory memory
- short-term memory (working memory)
- long term memory
Sensory memory
- pre attention stage
- stimulus analyzed to determine if it will additional processing
Short term memory
Information temporarily stored while it is being processed, like RAM in a computer
Long-term memory
- connected to short term memory through encoding and retrieving
- like the disk drive in a computer
Rehearsal
Silently repeating information to encode it into long term memory
How long does information get lost if not rehearsed in working memory
30 seconds
Millers law
People can handle 7 bits (+-2) of information at a time
Information overload
When more information is received than can be processed in short term memory
Recognition
When information is placed before the consumer. The goal is to determine if the information has been seen before
Recall (Retrieval)
When the consumer must receive the information from long term memory without any prompting.
-requires greater depth of incoming
Consumer knowledge definition
The amount of experience a person has about particular products or services
Semantic memory
How people store the meanings of verbal material in long term memory
Associative memory
A web of schemas that connect to each other about a topic
Five types of information stored in nodes
- brand names
- brand characteristics/attributes
- ads about a brand
- product category
- evaluative (affective) reactions to the brand and the ad
Association
mental connection between concepts, events, or mental states that usually stems from specific experiences
Guided association

Schemas
Organized sets of expectations and associations about objects

Need recognition
When a perceived discrepancy exists between an actual and a desired state of being
Expressive needs
Desired by consumers to fulfill social or aesthetic requirements
Utilitarian needs
Desires by consumers to solve basic problems
Content theories of motivation
Seeks to identify the factors that influence behavior
Process theories of motivation
Seeks to understand the mental process people go through in deciding on alternative courses of action
Some content theories of motivation
- Maslow’s hierarchy
- McClelland’s theory of learned needs
McClelland’s theory of learned needs
- achievement motivation
- need for affiliation
- need for power
- need for uniqueness
Process theories of motivation
Reinforcement theory
Equity theory
Attribution theory
Expectancy- instrumentality - valence
Reinforcement theory
Based on behaviorism
- positive reinforcement
- negative reinforcement
- punishment
Positive reinforcement
Do something good, get something good in return
Negative reinforcement
Do something good, something bad is taken away
