What are the key elements and types of problem solving associated with Cognitive learning?
 Key Elements
• Desired Goal: What you need to understand, solve, and how to go about it.
• Knowledge: What do I need to know?
• Insights and Attitude: Develop insights, then develop attitude
• Purposeful behavior: You do something; solve the problem.

 Types of Problem Solving
• Extensive – You have never bought the product, so what do you look for? Need to do research, ask people, then you buy
• Limited – You have some idea what to look for because you have purchased before. Makes buying a little easier, you don’t need to go through all the steps of an extensive problem solving process. You are considering new brands.
• Routine – You’ve purchased the product before, so you don’t have to think about it. Automatic reorder.

3. Do something – Action / Behaviors
Internal – Thinking and memory, change an attitude.
External – Action of some type. Gathering of information/ buying or trying a product.

4. Get something behavior – Reinforcement or Punishment

Positive – Provides pleasure (i.e. cash bonus)
Negative – Takes away an unpleasant outcome or pain (i.e. must work less hours)

 Punishment – Something that makes you want to avoid an act.

 Drive – A drive is an uncomfortable feeling that moves the individual to take action. Want a heightened drive that is reduced by the product. Drive reduction is the biggest reinforcer.

other notes:
-Sensory Stimuli (crunchy chips)
-Greater reward, shorter decision time
-cognitive brand loyalty, person knows what the reinforcer is.
