Freud’s theory

1. Psychological forces shaping people’s behavior are


largely unconscious, and that a person cannot fully
understand his or her own motivations.
2. Motivation researchers often collect “in-dept interviews”
with a few dozen consumers to uncover deeper motives
triggered by a product.
3. The popular technique:
▻ Laddering
▻ Projective techniques: word association, sentence completion, picture
interpretation, role playing….

Perception

1. A motivated person is ready to act.


2. How she acts is influenced by her view of situation.
3. Perception is the process by which we select, organize, and
interpret information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the
world.
4. The key point is that it depends not only on the physical stimuli,
but also on the stimuli’s relationship to the surrounding field
and on conditions within each of us.
▻ A fast-talking salesperson is perceived as aggressive and insincere by one
person, but intelligent and helpful by another.

Three Perceptual processes

Learning

1. When we act, we learn.


2. Learning induces changes in our behavior arising
from experience.
3. Learning theorists believe that learning is produced
through the interplay of drives, stimuli, cues,
responses, and reinforcement.

42

Components of learning

• A strong internal stimulus impelling


Drive action

• Minor stimuli that determine when,


Cues where and a person respond

• If the experience is rewarding, the


Reinforcement response will be reinforced

Brand Knowledge in memory

1. We can think of consumer brand knowledge as a node in


memory with a variety of linked associations.
2. The strengths and organization of these associations will be
important determinants of the information we can recall
about the brand.
3. Brand associations consists of brand-related thoughts,
feelings, perceptions, images, experiences, beliefs, attitudes,
and so on that become linked to the brand node.

Problem Recognition

1. Internal stimulus: one of the person’s normal needs-


hunger, thirst, sex-rises to a threshold level and becomes
a drive.
2. External stimulus: A person may admire a neighbor’s
new car or see a television ad for a Hawaii vacation, which
triggers thought about possibility of making a purchase.
3. Marketers need to identify the circumstances that trigger
a particular need, then develop marketing strategies that
trigger consumer interest.
