Information Processing Model: Yielding & Retention Stimuli Exposure Attention MEMORY Comprehension Acceptance Retention stages called ‘perception’ in our text
Yielding / Acceptance When consumers pay attention to advertising, they may experience: Affective responses: feelings evoked by the ad Cognitive responses: thoughts evoked by the ad
Cognitive Responses CA = counterarguments * SD = source derogations SA = support arguments SB = source bolstering * most closely related to persuasion (negative)
Retention Types of memories semantic episodic narrative sensory Left: language, logic, detail Right: spatial relationships, holistic
Levels of Memory: sensory, STM, LTM Sensory memory Properties of STM capacity time constraints transfer times Capacity: 7 +/- 2 chunks Time: 30 sec. then will fade away if not rehearsed/kept active Transfer times: depends on retrieval goal---recall vs. recognition
Properties of LTM elements in LTM: cognitive, affective structure of LTM: associative network: memory nodes containing bits of information are linked to other memory nodes in a series of hierarchical networks spreading activation: focusing on one node will ‘activate’ related (linked) nodes/ideas as well

Memory Control Processes Rehearsal maintenance rehearsal repetition when? massed vs. distributed how long? advertising wearout Maintenance – repeat to self; ads can encourage by repeating info within ad Wearout – combat by using different executions of same theme (CONSISTENCY of key info is imp.)
