2. Short term store
3. Long term store
Sensory Store
• Each sense receives a piece of
information and transmits it to the brain
where a whole and single image is made
• This image lasts for just a second or two
• If not processed it is lost immediately
• Brain tags all perception as +ve or –ve
• Hence impression created in first micro
second tend to remain
Short term store
• Information is processed and held for
just a brief period
• If information in the short term store
undergoes the process known as
rehearsal (silent mental repeatition) it is
then transferred to long term store
• Transfer takes 2-10 seconds
• If not rehearsed it is lost in 30 seconds
Long term store
• After rehearsal data is stored in long
term storage by a process of encoding
• Encoding is a process by which we select
a word or visual image to represent
perceived image
• Learning a picture takes less time than
verbal information
Print ads with illustration and body copy is
more likely to be encoded and stored
Commercials and Learning
• Encoding commercials is related to the
context in which they are featured
• When viewers committ more cognitive
resources to the program itself they encode
and store less info from the commercial
• Highly involved viewers of a show respond
more positively to commercials played
adjacent to the show
• Info overload leads to difficulty in coding
Retention
• Information is constantly organised and
reorganised as new links between chunks of info
are forged
• Activation is a process of relating new data to old
data to make material mre meaningful
• Consumers are more likely to recall info they
receive on new products bearing familier name
• For a long term retention reinforcement and
repeatition is necessary

Retrieval
• Process by which we recover information from
long term storage
• Retrieval is most often triggered by cues
• Retrieval is quick if the brand is heavily advertised
or consumer has pleasant usage experience
• Memory is often emotional than rational
• Purchase decisions / preferences are often driven
by memory rather than current experience
