The document summarizes several early models of consumer behavior:
1) The EKB model focuses on the decision making process and how it is impacted by inputs, information processing, decision variables, and external factors.
2) The Howard-Sheth model deals with different buying categories and factors like inputs, perceptions, learning, and outputs.
3) Bettman's model emphasizes information processing and includes constructs like motivation, attention, information acquisition and evaluation, and decision processes.
4) The HCB model incorporates external and internal influences, self-concept, desires, needs, and the consumer decision making process from problem recognition to post-purchase.
