CHAPTER 4

MEMORY AND
KNOWLEDGE

Hoyer | MacInnis | Pieters


2

Memory and Knowledge


Consumer memory- The persistence of
learning over time via the storage and
retrieval of information, either
consciously or unconsciously.

Retrieval- The process of


remembering or accessing what was
previously stored in memory.
3

TYPES OF MEMORY

Sensory Memory- Input from the five senses


stored temporarily in memory.

Working Memory- The portion of memory


where incoming information is encoded or
interpreted in context of existing knowledge
and kept available for more processing.
4

TYPES OF MEMORY

Long-term memory(LTM) - The part of memory


where information is permanently stored for later
use.
Episodic(autobiographical)memory- Knowledge we
have about ourselves and our personal, past
experiences.
Semantic memory- General Knowledge about an
entity, detached from specific episodes.
5

TYPES OF MEMORY

Explicit memory- When consumers are consciously


aware that they remember something.

Implicit memory- Memory without any conscious


attempt at remembering something
6

How memory is Enhanced?

Because we must attend to something before we can


remember it, many of the factors that affect
attention also affect memory and ultimately,
recognition and recall.
Recognition- The process of identifying whether we
have previously encountered a stimulus when re-
exposed to it.
Recall- The ability to retrieve information from
memory without being re-exposed to it.
7

Marketers can apply chunking,


rehearsal, recirculation and
elaboration to help consumers
remember their brands,
communications or offerings.
8

Knowledge Content, Structure and Flexibility

▸ Knowledge content reflects the information we


have already learned and stored in memory
about brands, companies, stores, people, how to
shop and so on.

▸ Knowledge structure describes how we


organize knowledge(both episodic and
semantic)in memory.
9

Knowledge Content, Structure and Flexibility

Schema- The set of associations linked to a


concept.

Marketers use Ads, packages, and Product


Attributes to enhance Consumers' Knowledge
About an offering. Marketers often want
consumers to know more about their products.
10

Knowledge Content, Structure and Flexibility

Spreading of Activation- The process by which


retrieving a concept or association spreads to the
retrieval of a related concept or association.
Priming- The increased sensitivity to a certain
concpets and associations due to prior experience
based on implicit memory.
Brand image- Specific type of schema that
captures what a brand stands for and how
favorably it is viewed.
11
Knowledge Content, Structure and Flexibility

Brand Personality- The set of associations included in a


schema that reflect a brand's personification.

Script- A special type of schema that represents knowledge


of a sequence of actions involved in performing an activity.

Brand extension- Using brand name of a product with a well-


developed image on a product in a different category.
12

MEMORY AND RETRIEVAL


Marketers not only want
consumers to store information
in memory, properly categorized
and with favorable, unique
associations-- they want
consumers to retrieve this
information from memory when
making decisions.
13

Three elements is particular contribute to retrieval failures:

▸ Decay- The weakening of memory stregth over


time.
▸ Interference- When the stregth of a memory
deteriorates over time beacause of competing
memories.
▸ Primacy and recency effect- The tendency to show
greater memory for information that comes first or
last in a sequence.
14

Factors Affecting Retrieval

Factors Affecting Retrieval


1. The characteristics of the stimulus itself.
2. What the stimulus is linked to.
3. The way the stimulus is processed.
4. The consumer's characteristics.
