Consumer Learning
A process by which individuals acquire the purchase and consumption knowledge and experience that they apply to future related behaviour.

Learning Processes
• Intentional
– learning acquired as a result of a careful
search for information
• Incidental
– learning acquired by accident or without much effort
![Page 4: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Importance of Learning
• Marketers must teach consumers:
– where to buy
– how to use
– how to maintain
– how to dispose of products
![Page 5: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Learning Theories
• Behavioural Theories: Theories based on the premise that learning takes place as the result of observable responses to external stimuli. Also known as stimulus response theory.
• Cognitive Theories:
A theory of learning
based on mental
information
processing, often in
response to problem
solving.

Elements of Learning Theories
• Motivation – acts as spur to learning
• Cues – stimuli that give direction to these motives
• Response – how individuals react to a drive or cue
• Reinforcement
![Page 8: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reinforcement
A positive or negative outcome that influences the likelihood that a specific behaviour will be repeated in the future in response to a particular cue or stimulus.

Behavioural Learning Theories (Stimulus Response Theories)
• Classical Conditioning
• Instrumental (or Operant) Conditioning
![Page 10: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Classical Conditioning
• Pairing a stimulus with another stimulus that elicits a known response to produce the same response when used alone.
![Page 11: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Instrumental (Operant) Conditioning
• learning based on a trial-and-error process, with habits forced as the result of positive experiences (reinforcement)
![Page 12: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Classical conditioning – cont’d
• Classical conditioning is the learning of associations among events that allows us to anticipate and represent our environment.
• From this viewpoint, classical conditioning is not reflexive action, but rather the acquisition of new knowledge
![Page 15: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Neo-Pavlovian Conditioning
• Forward Conditioning (CS Precedes US)
• Repeated Pairings of CS and US
• A CS and US that Logically Belong to Each Other
• A CS that is Novel and Unfamiliar
• A US that is Biologically or Symbolically Salient
![Page 16: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Strategic Applications of Classical Conditioning
• Repetition
• Stimulus Generalization – The inability to perceive differences between
slightly dissimilar stimuli.
• Stimulus Discrimination
![Page 17: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Repetition
• Repetition increases strength of associations and slows forgetting
• but over time may result in advertising wearout.
• Cosmetic variations reduce satiation.
![Page 18: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Three-Hit Theory
• Repetition is the basis for the idea that three exposures to an ad are necessary for the ad to be effective
• The number of actual repetitions to equal three exposures is in question.
![Page 19: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stimulus Generalization
• The inability to perceive differences between slightly dissimilar stimuli.
• Marketing applications – Product Line, Form and Category Extensions
– Family Branding
– Licensing
– Generalizing Usage Situations
![Page 20: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stimulus Discrimination
• The ability to select a specific stimulus from among similar stimuli because of perceived differences.
![Page 21: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Classical Conditioning and Marketing Strategy
• Identify and pair product with a known, well-liked stimulus
– More attention
– More favourable attitudes
– Greater intention to buy the product
– Learning of key attributes
• Use stimulus generalization effectively
• Distinguish the product through effective use of stimulus discrimination
![Page 22: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Instrumental Conditioning
• Consumers learn by means of trial and error process in which some purchase behaviours result in more favorable outcomes (rewards) than other purchase behaviours.
• A favorable experience is instrumental in teaching the individual to repeat a specific behaviour.
• Foremost proponent was BF Skiner
![Page 23: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reinforcement
• Positive Reinforcement: Positive outcomes that strengthen the likelihood of a specific response
• Example: Ad showing beautiful hair as a reinforcement to buy shampoo
• Negative
Reinforcement:
Unpleasant or negative
outcomes that serve to
encourage a specific
behaviour
• Example: Ad showing
wrinkled skin as
reinforcement to buy
skin cream
![Page 25: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other Concepts in Reinforcement
• Punishment – Choose reinforcement rather than
punishment
• Extinction – Combat with consumer satisfaction
• Forgetting – Combat with repetition
![Page 26: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Instrumental Conditioning and Marketing
• Make the product the ultimate reward
• Provide samples and free trials
• Provide non-product rewards
• Practice relationship marketing
• Reinforcement Schedules – Shaping
• Massed versus Distributed Learning
![Page 27: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cognitive Learning Theory
• Learning through problem solving, which enables individuals to gain some control over their environment.
• Three types: – Observational learning (Vicarious Learning )
– Route Learning
– Reasoning
![Page 28: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Observational Learning
• individuals learn by observing the behaviour of others, and consequences of such behaviour.
• Also known as modeling or vicarious learning.
![Page 29: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Iconic Rote Learning
• Learning concepts through simple repetition
– Repeated ads teach consumers about a product’s
attributes
![Page 30: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Reasoning
• Highest level of cognitive learning
• Involves creative thinking
• Depends on how information is processed and stored
![Page 31: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Retention • The total package of associations
brought to mind when a cue is activated is called a Schema
• Information is stored in long-term memory – Episodically: by the order
in which it is acquired
– Semantically: according to significant concepts
![Page 33: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Information processing and Involvement Theory
• Developed from stream of research called Hemispheral lateralization or Split – Brain theory
• Central and Peripheral Routes to Persuasion
– highly involved consumers are best reached
through ads that focus on the specific attributes
of the product (the central route)
– uninvolved consumers can be attracted through
peripheral advertising cues such as the model or
the setting (the peripheral route).
![Page 35: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM)
• The elaboration likelihood model (ELM) of persuasion is a dual process theory describing the change of attitudes form. The ELM was developed by Richard E. Petty and John Cacioppo in 1986. The model aims to explain different ways of processing stimuli, why they are used, and their outcomes on attitude change.
• a person’s level of involvement during message processing determines which route to persuasion is likely to be effective
![Page 36: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
TWO ROUTES TO PERSUASION
• Central: message elaboration – the extent to which a person carefully thinks about issue-relevant arguments contained in a persuasive communication
The more listeners work to attend to the message the less influenced they are by content-irrelevant factors
• Peripheral: shorthand method to accept or reject a message without any active thinking about the attributes of the issue or the object of consideration
The more listeners attend to content-irrelevant factors, the less the impact of the message
![Page 37: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Note: Two Dimensions
• Messages can be constructed with a view either to elaborated or peripheral processing, or some mixture of the two
• Messages can be interpreted through attention either mainly to elaborated or to peripheral features, or some mixture of the two
![Page 38: Consumer Learning - AMJAD ALI KHAN COLLEGE](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020700/61f36b40ffc86e140f400458/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Cognitive Learning and Marketing Strategy
• Use rote learning to teach consumers about the brand
• Use reasoning or problem solving for complex or high-involvement products
• Use modelling to extinguish negative behaviour
• Use knowledge of information processing to help consumers store, retain and retrieve messages.
