Consumer learning can occur through classical conditioning, instrumental conditioning, and cognitive learning. Classical conditioning involves linking a product to a positive stimulus to elicit automatic positive responses in consumers. Instrumental conditioning modifies behavior based on reinforcement, where advertising aims to increase consumer expectations of reinforcement and sales promotions provide initial inducements. Cognitive learning is a problem-solving process where consumers perceive stimuli, associate brands with needs, evaluate options, and assess if products meet expectations. Social learning also influences consumers as they observe and learn from the behaviors and experiences of others.

Classical Conditioning Pavlovian Conditioning A secondary stimulus is paired with a primary stimulus, that already elicits an automatic response. As a result of this pairing, an association is formed. Eventually, the secondary stimulus alone will be enough to elicit the automatic response. An effective ad campaign may link a product to a stimulus that evokes a positive feeling Eg:The Hutch ad/ Vodafone ad (pug), Marlboro (Cowboy) Associative Learning based on contiguity between the unconditioned and the conditioned stimulus requiring no thought. Consumers go through a thinking process in linking a bulldog to Hutch phone. This link is stronger, if consumers recognize that it is associated with their needs.
Instrumental Conditioning A process in which the frequency of occurrence of a bit of behaviour is modified by the consequences of the behaviour. Frequency of behaviour is conditioned by the extent of reinforcement associated with that behaviour Instrumental Conditioning Focus on reinforcement Consumers repurchase when they are satisfied. Role of advertising is to increase consumers expectation of reinforcement Role of sales promotion is to create an initial inducement to try the product through free samples, price deals etc. Cognitive Learning Learning is a problem-solving process CL for consumers is a process of perceiving stimuli, associating stimuli to needs, evaluating alternative brands,and assessing whether the product meet expectations. CLT emphasizes the thought process involved in consumer learning. Social / Vicarious/ Observational Learning An individual learns a behaviour by observing the behaviour of others, and the consequences of this behaviour.
