Abstract
Fifty-three subjects indicated desired information at a brands × attributes information display board and generated cognitive responses in a thought-listing task. Need for cognition was measured. High need for cognition (NC) subjects selected more information and generated more task-related cognitive responses than low NC subjects. The results suggest that high NC subjects expended more cognitive effort on information search than low NC subjects.
