1.2. Consumer information processing
• How do they process (consumer-related) stimuli?
• Information overload (home, media, shops, other ppl)
• How does this affect their attitudes, intentions and behavior?
1.3. Mere exposure effect
- Zajonc: preferences need no inferences; it can happen automatically à it can happen without you knowing it
- Showed Chinese signs: The signs of Chinese can’t tell you anything if you don’t understand à tachistoscopy (= it can
show you things on a screen in a few mili-seconds so you can’t actually see it consciously)
- The more people see your logo à the more people will like it
- Repeated exposure leads to likinh
- Janiszewski: ads in the newspapers are just there à if they are reading articles and they see ads in an unconscious way,
the ads that were there afterwards are being liked more (incidental processing)
Cognitive resources are limited!
Þ Mental muscle
Þ Depletion of the brain à your brain gets tired à you have no full capacity anymore to make decisions
Þ In the evening after a day full of physical actions à you can be depleted
Þ Mental shortcuts!
