Behavioural learning theories: Assume that consumers’ experiences are shaped by the feedback they
receive as they go through life
Reward or punishment – Influences the way they respond in similar situations in the future
Environment is KEY to shaping learning and behaviour
Only look at what they see
o They approach the mind of the consumer as a black box
o Emphasizes observational aspects of behaviour
Assumes that learning takes place as the result of responses to an external event
Classical conditioning: When a stimulus that elicits a response is learned to be associated
with another stimulus that does not originally elicit a response (Learning by association)
o Association between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus by the
anticipation of an outcome
