moreConsumer behavior has been defined by the American Marketing Association as "the dynamic interaction of cognition, behavior, and environmental events by which human beings conduct the exchange aspects of their lives" (Bennett, 1988, 40).

Information processing on the part of the consumer should be considered in terms of motivation, in terms of the factors that get people to behave in a certain way. There are different formulations that have been offered to explain human behavior, and one of the more significant is that offered by Maslow.

Cognition, or cognitive behavior, is defined as that activity involved with mentality, such as thought, language, intelligence, dreams, and fantasies (Etaugh and Rathus, 1995). Cognition is further defi

This paper briefly discusses all of these issues.
