Answer

The Fictional Product And Its Advertisement

The fictional product that I will look at is the EyePhone. This is a virtual headset device that is embedded behind one’s eye to allow the person to project images before his or her eyes and control them with his or her mind (Brownell, 2011). This gives it a greater competitive advantage; the product comes concomitantly with a parody of Twitter that gives one room to post every preceding thought instantly and the video respectively (Wong, & Mulligan, 2016, June). It, therefore, allows its users to listen, check emails, watch, stalk pals, or ignore them in crowded places. Like any other product, the EyePhone fictional product has some flaws worth noting in advance, for example, its battery has a lower capacity (Matheson, & Cooke, 2013). However, the product’s reception is spotty, and it can be used behind closed doors to mind-control the phone’s users.

How Classical Conditioning Creates Favorable Attitudes Sufficient to Encourage Consumers to Buy the Product

Classical conditioning refers to a system of learning by which a conditional stimulus is associated with unrelated unconditioned stimulus for the intention of producing a behavioral response called conditioned response (McSweeney, & Murphy, 2014). Eyephone has facets that encourage attention, effective response, and behavioral approaches simultaneously, hence very influential to consumers’ buying attitude (Aronson et al., 2019. Furthermore, it views all learning as a response transfer between a conditioned stimulus and an unconditioned one (Levy, Harmon-Jones, & Harmon-Jones, 2018). This means that when various responses originate from conditioning, then various transfers emerge as well in line with the Pavlovian conditioning process in the product (Staats, & Staats, 1958). The process and the product, therefore, offer the flexibility of considering the effect of conditioning on various learning areas; it also encourages conceptual and perceptual systems to inductively learn about co-variations (Muzellec, Kanitz, & Lynn, 2013).
