? Why do people say one thing but do something else?
Understanding MindsSM www.seidewitzgroup.com Confidential
A pervasive and under-recognized problem in marketing:
• Quantitative purchase drivers – Stated ≠ Derived
• Copy testing
– Qualitative reactions ≠ Quantitative testing
– Qualitative reactions ≠ In-market results
• Product development – What they say they want ≠ What they really want
• Consumer and B2B marketing

The same problem confounds many other fields:
• Psychology – What people say makes them happy ≠ What does make them happy
• Law
– What witnesses say they saw ≠ What really happened
• Economics – Why people say they make decisions ≠ Why they make decisions

The problem is…Confabulation
• People fill in gaps in memory with fabrications that they believe to be true.
• Well established in psychology and neurology literature.

The key to understanding confabulation: the emerging science of implicit memory
• Implicit memories are memories we do not have conscious access to and are not aware of their influence on our behavior.
• Virtually all brain systems learn and store implicit memories.
• Emotional brain systems, in particular, are centers for implicit memories.
• Implicit memories are more accurate than explicit ones.
• Implicit memories have a profound influence on human behavior, motivation and decision-making. – Demasio and Ledoux
