Front 15

AIDA model

Back 15

a model that depicts the successive stages abuyer passes through in the personal selling process including attention, interest, desire, and action.

Back 16

a model of the process by which advertising works that assumes a consumer must pass through a sequence of steps from initial awareness to eventual action. The stages include awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption.

Front 17

innovation adoption model

Back 17

a model that represents the stages a consumer passes through in the adoption process for an innovation such as a new product. The series of steps includes awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption.

Front 18

information processing model

Back 18

The model views the receiver as passing through a response hierarchy that includes a series of stages including message presentation, attention, comprehension, acceptance or yielding, retendion, and behavior.

Front 19

standard learning model

Back 19

progression by the consumers through a learn-feel-do hierarchical response.

Front 20

dissonance/attribution model

Back 20

a type of response hierarchy where consumers first behave, then develop attitudes or feelings as a result of that behavior, and then learn or process information that supports the attitude and behavior.

Front 21

low-involvement hierarchy

Back 21

a response hierarchy whereby a message recipient is viewed as passing from cognition to behavior to attitude change.

Front 22

Back 28

a model that identifies two processes by which communications can lead to persuasion-central and peripheral routes.

Front 29

central route to persuasion

Back 29

one of two routes to persuasion recognized by the elaboration likelihood model. The central route to persuasion views a message recipient as very active and involved in the communications process and as having the ability and motivation to attend to and process a message.

Front 30

peripheral route to persuasion

Back 30

in the elaboration likelihood model, one of two routes to persuasion in which the receiver is viewed as lacking the ability or motivation to process information and is not likely to be engaging in detailed cognitive processing.
