The Adaptiveness of Unconscious Brand-Attribute Associations
We investigate properties of brand-attribute associations formed unconsciously. We show that changing the valence of attributes that have become unconsciously associated with a brand can impact brand evaluations. Our findings also suggest that people adaptively apply the evaluative implications of unconscious brand associations, updating their evaluations according to situational appropriateness.
