of stimuli we encounter with Selective Distortion à we adjust perception to match
current mind set Selective Retention à we do not remember everything,
and we remember things confirming to our beliefs and/or attitude (and also things which starkly contradicts!)

individuals to develop attitudes and beliefs Social Learning à learning from behavior of others Cognitive Learning à use of power of reasoning to
develop attitudes and/or beliefs (important for high involvement purchase)
