Sensory memoryInput from the fivesenses stored temporarily in memory
Working memory (WM)the portion ofthe memory where incoming informationis encoded or interpreted in the contextof existing knowledge , and kept
available for more processing

Long Term Memory (LTM)the part ofmemory where information is permanently
stored for later use.
Episodic (autobiographical) memoryknowledge we have about ourselves andour personal , past experiences.

Implicit memoryMemory without anyconscious attempt at rememberingsomething.

Recognitionthe process of identifyingwhether we have previously encountered
a stimulus when reexposed to it
Recallthe ability to retrieve informationfrom memory without being reexposed
Elaborationtransferring information into
long-term memory by processing it atdeeper levels

Chunkingconsumers will holdinformation in short-term memory and
transfer it to a long-term memory byproviding large bits of information thatchunk together for small bits.
RehearsalWhen motivation is low ,
marketers may use tactics such as jingles ,sounds and slogans to instigaterehearsals.

KNOWLEDGE CONTENT :
schemas and scripts Spreading of activationthe process by whichretrieving a concept or association spreads to theretrieval of a related concept or association.
Primingthe increased sensitivity to certainconcepts and associations due to priorexperience based on implicit memory.
Associative Networkis a set of conceptsconnected by links. When one concept isactivated, others may become activated via thelinks.
Concepts connected by strong links are morelikely to activate each other than are those
connected by weak links.

KNOWLEDGE CONTENT :
schemas and scripts Associations in schemas vary in three dimensions that arecrucial to building and maintaining strong brands:
1. Favorability
2. Uniqueness
3. Salience
CREATING BRAND EXTENSIONS
Brand extensiondefine as using the brand
name or product with a well-developed image
on a product in a different category.

KNOWLEDGE CONTENT :
schemas and scriptsTwo General Effects
1. A transfer of associations takes place from theoriginal brand schema to the new brandedproduct.
- Consumers tend to like brand extensions morewhen the product fits in some way with the parentbrand and when they really like the parent brand.
2. A transfer of meaning from the new brandedproduct to the original brand schema may take
place.- Brand extensions may take the brand schema
less coherent and may dilute the brands image.

KNOWLEDGE CONTENT :
schemas and scriptsMAINTAINING BRAND IMAGES AND PERSONALITIESTo develop the brand images and personalities, a
company may:
Offer multiple brand extensions
Link the product to an appropriate sponsorship; or Highlight additional features and benefits
CHANGING BRAND IMAGES AND PERSONALITIES
If a brand or product image becomes stale, outdated, orlinked to negative associations, marketers need to add newand positive associations.

KNOWLEDGE CONTENT :
schemas and scriptsPROTECTING BRAND IMAGES AND PERSONALITIES Brand images and personalities may be threatened during
crises that involve potential harm. The way that a companyresponds to a crisis affects its brand image but consumersprior expectations also play a critical role.
Companies whose customers held a strong, positive imageof the brand prior to the crisis suffered less image damagethan did companies whose customers had lowerexpectations.
Companies with weaker brand images should actaggressively to support their brand after a crisis.

Serial-Position Effects:Primary and Recency
=The tendency to show greater memory for information that comes first or last
in a sequence.= the fact that the things we encountered first or last in a sequence are often
those most easily remembered.
Retrieval Errors
Memory is not always accurate or complete and may be subject to
selection, confusion, and distortion.
-memory isselectivewhen you only remember the good things thathappened on your last vacation but not the bad things that happened.
-Memory can be Confused,as when you remember your friend telling you a
great story about a new movie; when it was really your neighbor who told
you. Source of Confusion because you accurately remember the story about
the movie but confuse who the source of the story
-Memory can be Distorted,as when you remember experiences or events
that actually did not happened and the virtual interaction with a product
leads to more false memories because it generates vivid images that
consumers later come to believe were real occurrences.

Enhancing RetrievalGiven the importance of retrieval, marketers need to understand how they can
enhance the likelihood that consumers will remember something about
specific brands.
Enhancing factors mentioned , Retrieval is affected by;
1. The characteristic of the stimulus itself
2. What the stimulus is linked to
3. The way the stimulus is processed
4. The consumers characteristics
Characteristics of the Stimulus
Salience- objects tend to attract attention and induce greater elaboration,
thereby creating stronger memories.
Prototypicality- we are better to recognized and recall prototypical or pioneerbrands because these have been frequently rehearsed and recirculated and
are linked to many other concepts in memory.
Rebundant cues-memory is enchaced when the information items to be learnedseem to go together naturally.
The Medium in which the stimulus is processed- researhers are exploring whethercertain media are more effective than others at enchancingconsumer memory.
