Term
Advertising Wear-Out
Definition
the condition that occurs when consumers become so used to hearing or seeing a marketing stimulus that they no longer pay attention to it
Term
Associative Network
Definition
a memory system that organizes individual units of information according to some set of relationships; may include such concepts as brands, manufacturers, and stores
Term
Attentional Gate
Definition
a process whereby information retained for further processing is transferred from sensory memory to short-term memory
Term
Behavioral Learning Theories
Definition
the perspectives on learning that assume that learning takes place as the result of responses to external events
Term
Brand Equity
Definition
a brand that has strong positive associations in a consumer's memory and commands a lot of loyalty as a result
Term
Chunking
Definition
a process in which information is stored by combining small pieces of information into larger ones

Classical Conditioning
Definition
the learning that occurs when a stimulus eliciting a response is paired with another stimulus tha tintially does not elicit a response on its own but will cause a similar response over time because of its association with the first stimulus
Term
Cognitive Learning Theory
Definition
approaches that stress the importance of internal mental processes. this perspective views people as problem solvers who actively use information from the world around them to master their environment
Term
Conditioned Response
Definition
a response to a conditioned stimulus cause by the learning of an association between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus
Term
Conditioned Stimulus
Definition
a stimulus that produces a learned reaction through association over time
Term
Decay
Definition
structural changes in the brain produced by learning decrease over time
Term
Elaborative Rehearsal
Definition
a cognitive process that allows information to move from short-term memory into long-term memory by thinking about the meaning of a stimulus and relating it to other information already in memory
Term
Encoding
Definition
the process in which information from short-term memory enters into long-term memory in a recognizable form

Observational Learning
Definition
the process by which people learn by watching the actions of others and noting the reinforcements they receive for their behaviors
