MWITA-SPEO-2026-002 · Evidence A · P1
Explicitly articulating the sponsor-event relationship improved cued sponsor recall, while competitor presence impaired it in the third experiment.
What this does not establish
Laboratory memory performance does not establish event engagement, footfall, purchase, sales, or durable brand equity.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Articulation is not uniformly beneficial under every cue direction or congruence condition; the competitor penalty is demonstrated in one experimental configuration.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
