DEFINITIONS In order to make each on-air test comparable with all other on- air tests, certain definitions have been followed. These definitions are outlined briefly below: Related Recall - Verbatims which are classified as related are correct play-backs of the test commercial. These may either be generally correct or specifically correct. A specifically correct verbatim contains elements of recall which can come only from the test com- mercial, since they have appeared in no other commercials. Generally correct verbatims contain elements which truly reflect things said or shown in the test commercial, although these things are not ex- clusive to the test commercial. Unrelated Recall - Verbatims which are classified as unrelated fall into one of three groups. The most obvious group contains those which do not have any elements of any cigarette advertising in them. in some cases these can amount to nothing more than the respondent's statement that he remembers the brand name but nothing else. In other cases there may be non-descriptive mentions of the cigarette pack. The second group consists of only elements which are incorrect. These may be either generally incorrect or specifically incorrect. A specifically incorrect verbatim contains mentions of elements which are clearly from a commercial other than the test commercial. A generally incorrect verbatim consists of elements that cannot be associated with specific non-test brand advertising but which are certainly not valid renderings of the copy strategy for the test brand. An example of this latter case would be where the respon- dent says that a CAMEL commercial contained mention of "mildness". (Note that a reasonable amount of judgment is sometimes necessary in these cases. If a respondent claimed that a CAMEL commercial made a claim for being "a man's cigarette", even though this was not mentioned, it could be argued that this is a justifiable inference because of the visual context.) The third group consists of verbatims which contain both gener- ally correct plus specifically incorrect elements. Here it is fairly clear that the respondent is confusing the test commercial with some other and has not, therefore, been able to give satisfactory evi- dence of having recalled the test commercial. Commercial Audience - The base on which percentages are computed must be the same in all on-air tests. Ideally, the base should be people who were present in the same room as the television set when the commercial was shown, i.e. the "commercial audience". The reason for using the same base for each test is to make all tests comparable and to present the results in a way that accurately reflects commun- ication efficiency. This goal is not achieved if the base is, for example, the number of people who say they saw the test commercial, because this in itself is a variable that depends on the ability of the commercial to be remembered; and since it will vary from test to test, the results of many tests cannot be compared.

VERBATIMS The following section contains the verbatim responses given in answer to the questions that were asked to deter- mine what the respondent remembered about the test commer- cial. These verbatims are not edited. They appear exactly as they were spoken and, consequently, some are not gram- matically sound. Information on the respondent's sex, age category and educational level and whether the respondent watched in black and white or color are given at the end of each ver- batim. The verbatims are in three categories, specifically related, generally related, and unrelated recall.

AIhanese The test cor.:ner6ial obtaineci an overall score of 18t, which was cor„nrise3 of 13% specifically related recall anu 5% generally related recall. This score is slightly higher than the 1966 - 1967 R. J. R. :30's average score of 10. A full 10% recalled "Doesn't have to be longer/to taste goo&/to be better..." Unduplicated taste corartents were made Ly £ 6 . The man smoking the extremely long cigarette was remembered by 10%. Our evaluation suggests that the results of this test are good. While taste recall was only moderate (45% of overall score) the "Doesn't-have-to-be-longer" theme was played back reasonably well (56% of overall score). In our judgment, the commercial performed satisfactorily because of the following elements: the simplicity of a single major copy point; an attention-getting opening; the co-support of audio and visual elements; and, especially, the tir.teliness of the message.
