Consumer Nostalgia Based on Brain Evoked Potential
Xianghua Xiao
Abstract
In order to use event-related potentials (ERPs) to reveal the neural mechanism of brain evoked potential analysis of
consumers' nostalgic implicit preferences, this study selects the major consumers of nostalgic consumption, the
post-80s, as samples and adopts a combination of behavioral experiments and brain evoked potential analysis
experiments to study the consumers’ nostalgic preferences. It holds that nostalgic products are more likely to
induce participants’ P2 component of brain evoked potential response to resource allocation, that is, nostalgic
products are more able to attract consumers' attention unconsciously than the modern products. It is concluded
that the N2 amplitude induced by the connection reaction of nostalgic products and negative sentiment vocabulary
is significantly higher than that induced by its connection response with positive sentiment vocabulary. In addition,
brain N2 component may be an indicator of implicit association test
