13、in imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the _81_ of speech is extremely fast, only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to _82_ out what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to _83_ the words spoken, understand the pattern of _84_ of the words (sentences),
14、 and finally _85_ the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds.

25、 defined _67_ a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied _68_ any particular circumstance. Moods should be _69_ from emotions which are usually more intense, _70_ to specific circumstances, and often conscious. _71_ one sense, the effect of a consumers mood ca

Similarly, consumers operating under a _76_ mood state tend to react to stimu
27、li (刺激因素) in a direction _77_ with that mood state. Thus, for example, we should expect to see _78_ in a positive mood state evaluate products in more of a _79_ manner than they would when not in such a state. _80_, mood states appear capable of _81_ a consumers memory.Moods appear to be _82_ influe
28、nced by marketing techniques. For example, the rhythm, pitch, and _83_ of music have been shown to influence behavior such as the _84_ of time spent in supermarkets or _85_ to purchase products.
