.
The process by which individuals acquire the purchase and consumption knowledge and experience that they apply to future related behavior

Behavioral Learning
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
It is a type of learning in which an individual's behavior is modified by its antecedents and consequences.
It is a process of behavior modification made famous by Ivan Pavlov and his experiments conducted with dogs.
Ivan Pavlov B. F. Skinner

Discussion Questions For Coca-Cola (or any other beverage company): How have they used classical conditioning in their marketing Identify the unconditioned and conditioned stimuli, the conditioned and unconditioned response.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra14
How effective conditioning can create a very favourable strategy for marketers...
• The cola’s (Pepsi and Coke) have used Classical Conditioning very effectively over the years.
• Thirst (An Unconditioned Response) is generated by various environmental and physical factors like heat, sports, workout, dehydration etc. (These are Unconditioned Stimuli).
• Pepsi and Coke have strategically placed and associated their products with all the above Unconditioned Stimuli like heat, sports, etc repeatedly.
• They have also used key words in their branding like “Thanda Matlab Coca Cola”. This has played the part of a Conditioned Stimulus which is placed along with the Unconditioned Stimuli every time (hence the sponsorships for major sporting events).
• Over time the Conditioned Stimulus (Cola drink) becomes a signal for the arrival of the Unconditioned Stimulus (heat, dehydration) for the brain and we feel thirsty just by seeing a big poster of Coke or Pepsi without actually experiencing any of the above environmental or physical factors. Thus, we don’t only have a Coke/Pepsi when we are thirsty, we feel thirsty when we see a Coke/Pepsi!

Other examples
• Dermi cool – “Aaya mausam thande thande Dermi cool ka”• Fair n Lovely winter fairness cream – “Sardiyon mein
nikhar ghatega nahin badhega”• “Chhoti bhook hai iska naam”
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Strategic Applications of Classical Conditioning
• Repetition
• Stimulus generalization
• Stimulus discrimination
• Increases the association between the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus
• Slows the pace of forgetting
• Advertising wear out is a problem

Repetition of the Message with Varied Ads Results in More Information Processing by the Consumer
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Strategic Applications of Classical Conditioning
• Repetition
• Stimulus generalization
• Stimulus discrimination
• Having the same response to slightly different stimuli
• Helps “me-too” products to succeed
• Useful in: Product extensions Family branding Licensing

Strategic Applications of Classical Conditioning
• Repetition
• Stimulus generalization
• Stimulus discrimination
• Selection of a specific stimulus from similar stimuli
• Opposite of stimulus generalization
• This discrimination is the basis of positioning which looks for unique ways to fill needs
Basic Concepts

Instrumental (Operant) Conditioning - Burrhus Frederic Skinner
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra28
Reinforcement of Behavior
Positive Negative
Positive outcome Negative outcome
Strengthen likelihood Encourages behavior
Positive reinforcement is a good thing that happens which rewards a behavior – Going to the gym made you feel good so you go every other day.
Negative outcome is a bad thing that happens which encourages a behavior. You ate a donut every morning for breakfast so gained a lot of weight over the past week. This causes you to go to the gym every other day and to stop eating donuts.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Reinforcement of Behavior
Extinction ForgettingA learned response is no longer reinforced
The reinforcement is forgotten
The link is eliminated between stimulus and reward
Extinction and forgetting are easily confused. But think of what the words mean. If the response, is forgotten it can be brought back just by remembering. If it is extinct, it is unlearned. The link between the stimulus and the response is destroyed.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Strategic Applications of Instrumental Conditioning
• Customer Satisfaction (Reinforcement) – It means that each time the customer has an experience with the product or company, there has been positive reinforcement
• This is the reason relationship marketing is so important.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Strategic Applications of Instrumental Conditioning
• Reinforcement Schedules can vary
• They can be (otherwise called “Schedules of reinforcements” Total (or continuous) reinforcement Systemic (fixed ratio) reinforcement Random (variable ratio) reinforcement schedule
• Marketers will often use random reinforcement as a bonus for the customer and fixed reinforcement as loyalty points or rewards.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Strategic Applications of Instrumental Conditioning
• Shaping is a procedure in which reinforcement is used to guide a response closer and closer to a desired response.
• Shaping occurs by having the reinforcement BEFORE the behavior occurs.
• In this situation, the consumer can be given the offer of a reward before they actually make their decision and purchase a product.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra35
Strategic Applications of Instrumental Conditioning
• Massed versus distributed learning: Should the learning and the exposure to the stimuli happen in a relatively short period of time or be drawn out? Media planners are often faced with this decision when putting together an advertising campaign.
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Observational Learning(modeling or vicarious learning
• A process by which individuals learn behavior by observing the behavior of others and the consequences of such behavior
Consumer Learning I Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Albert Bandura
Cognitivism
• Grew in response to Behaviorism
• Knowledge is stored cognitively as symbols
• Learning is the process of connecting symbols in a meaningful & memorable way
• Studies focused on the mental processes that facilitate symbol connection
Cognitive Learning Theories
Discovery Learning - Jerome Bruner
Meaningful Verbal Learning - David Ausubel
Cognitive Learning Theory
Discovery Learning Bruner said anybody can learn anything, at any age,
provided it is stated in terms they can understand Powerful Concepts (not isolated facts)– Transfer to many different situations– Only possible through Discovery Learning– Confront the learner with problems and help them find
solutions. Do not present sequenced materials.
Cognitive Learning Theory
Meaningful Verbal Learning Advance Organizers:
New material is presented in a systematic way, and is connected to existing cognitive structures in a meaningful way.
Meaningful Verbal Learning
Cognitive Learning Theory
When learners have difficulty with new material, go back to the concrete anchors (Advance Organizers). Provide a Discovery approach, and they’ll learn.
Cognitivism in the Classroom
• Inquiry-oriented projects
• Opportunities for the testing of hypotheses
• Curiosity encouraged
• Staged scaffolding
