The scale uses three, seven-point Likert items to measure the clarity and detail of the memory a person has of the most recent time he/she encountered a particular type of person, object, or activity.
Six, seven-point items measure how much a customer feels that a particular employee, such as a salesperson, was listening and understood what one was saying. The emphasis of the items is on cognitive aspects of listening rather than behavioral.
With three items, the scale measures how much a customer in a store learned information, primarily from an employee, that was relevant.
