The Iconic Trigger

SST brain activity peaks in left-hemisphere long-term memory encoding indicate those images and audio segments that are strongly encoded in long-term memory. These strongly encoded mnemonic segments serve as ‘key images’ or ‘hooks’ that the brain uses to reconstruct these memories when recalling or recognizing the original event.

We term these mnemonic elements ‘Iconic Triggers’ as being exposed to an Iconic Trigger reactivates memory of the original viewed material, eg advertisement.

As such, Iconic Triggers are a powerful way of integrating the various media components of an advertising campaign.
