Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Consumer Behaviour 5e by Quester, Neal, Pettigrew, Grimmer, Davis & Hawkins Slides prepared by Dr Wayne Binney 9-8 Conditioning Conditioning is based on the association of a stimulus (information) with a response (behaviour or feeling)
Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Consumer Behaviour 5e by Quester, Neal, Pettigrew, Grimmer, Davis & Hawkins Slides prepared by Dr Wayne Binney 9-9 Classical conditioning Establishing a relationship between stimulus and response to bring about the learning of the same response to a different stimulus Most common in low-involvement situations Learning is more often a feeling or emotion than information

Vicarious learning/modelling – Observe others' behaviour and adjust their own accordingly common in both high-involvement and low-involvement situations Reasoning – Most complex form of cognitive learning most high-involvement decisions generate some reasoning

Copyright 2007 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Consumer Behaviour 5e by Quester, Neal, Pettigrew, Grimmer, Davis & Hawkins Slides prepared by Dr Wayne Binney 9-28 Short term memory Two kinds of information processing: Elaborative activities: – Use of previously stored experiences, values, attitudes, beliefs and feelings to interpret and evaluate information in the working memory. Maintenance rehearsal: – The continual repetition of a piece of information in order to hold it in working memory to solve problems. Repeating a brand name is an example of this.
