“Yes, I Recall,” But “No, I Don’T”? – Why Negating (Vs. Affirming) Brand Attributes Impairs the Brand’S Recall Memory
In five studies, we demonstrate that negating (vs. affirming) brand attributes impair recall memory of the brand. Using research on spreading semantic activation, we demonstrate the psychological mechanism associated with brand attribute negation-induced forgetting. We also demonstrate extrinsic and intrinsic motivations as boundary conditions for the documented effect.
