January 13 at 11 am ET — Getting Below Top-of-Mind

· What is “top of mind” – and what is up there?
· RIVA suggested probes to get respondents to thoughtfully access information before surface answers
· The philosophy of what makes a good probe
There will also be an opportunity to provide an open forum to discuss probing.
