Taxonomic Categories
Knowledge structures in which people classify objects in an orderly, hierarchical way, based on their similarity to one another
-
-
Taxonomic categories share a hierarchical structure, characterized by levels
Superordinate level: broadest, most inclusive level. Less similarity among members (eg. Vehicles)
Basic Level: The most fundamental and intuitive one. Most people can differentiate among objects at this level (eg. Cars, planes, rockets, busses)
Subordinate level: narrowest, most differentiated level. Greatest similarity among members (Ford Focus, Boeing 777, Ferrari spider)
Taxonomic categories also share a graded structure (some members represent a category better than others)

Marketing implications
-
-
Placing a product in a particular category might influence our perception of its properties and image (organic vs regular, luxury vs regular)

Memory Functions
Encoding
The process of receiving and processing of information. Transforming the perceived stimuli into information that can be stored into short or long term memory
-
Retreival
The process of transferring information from long term memory into short term / working memory (for active use). Recalling or recognizing
-
How to enhance memory
-
-
-
-
Through dual encoding
Processing the information in different ways (writing, reading, listening)
-
Memory
Types
Sensory
Information about a stimulus, which is stored temporarily when we come in contact with the stimulus. Obtained through the five senses
-
-
-
Short term / working
The portion of memory where we encode or interpret incoming information in light of existing knowledge
Also short-lived, but not as brief as sensory memory
