Processing Fluency: How Exposure Influences Consumer Decisions

Processing fluency is a key concept in neuromarketing, helping us understand how consumers process advertising messages unconsciously. At the core of this model lies the mere exposure theory, which suggests that repeated exposure to a stimulus makes it more familiar, and therefore more accessible in memory. This familiarity leads to a preference for the stimulus, even if the consumer doesn’t explicitly recognize it. Within this framework, processing fluency is divided into two types: perceptual fluency and conceptual fluency. This article explores these mechanisms and their impact on consumer decision-making.

Consumer Perception and Attention: Understanding How Stimuli Are Received and Interpreted

In marketing, perception is everything. What consumers perceive about a product or brand is often more important than the reality of the product itself. Perception is the process by which individuals select, organize, and interpret information to construct a coherent image of the world around them. This article explores the mechanisms of perception that influence how consumers receive marketing messages, focusing on selective attention, selective distortion, and selective retention.
