Information Processing : 

Information Processing Pre-Test Stage Model Sensory Memory Short Term Memory Long Term Memory Organization of Knowledge Concept Formation Post-Test Activity Evaluation

Pre-Test : 

Pre-Test 1. The brain continually: a. Supports lifelong knowledge b. Needs past experience to have new knowledge c. Takes a long time to process information d. Needs testing   2. Memory: a. s only working memory and chunking. b. Is made up of sensory memory, short term memory, long term memory, and concept formation. c. Is made up of short term memory and long-term memory. d. Is made up of sensory memory and long-term memory.   3. Long-term memory is helped by: a. Short term memory. b. Episodic memory. c. Imaging, locations, pegwords, and rhyming d. Organization of knowledge.   4. Organization of knowledge memory is made up of: a. Advance organizer, guided discovery, episodic memory b. Acquiring, sequencing, processing, storage, and categorization. c. Working memory and chunking. d. Declarative memory, procedural memory, and imagery.   5. Concept formation: a. Only long term and short term memory. b. Is only for children. c. Includes advance organizer, guided discovery, and other principles. d. Is not part of information processing.

The Brain : 

The Brain The brain continually acquires processes categorizes organizes stores information Supports life-long knowledge and skill acquisition with almost zero down time? Deals with scale, complexity, and uncertainty Performs an impressive array of tasks with remarkable speed

Slide 5: 

Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968).

Sensory Memory : 

Sensory Memory Interesting Feature Known Pattern

Short Term Memory : 

Short Term Memory Working Memory Chunking

Long Term Memory : 

Long Term Memory Imaging Method of Loci(locations) Peg-word Rhyming

Organization (types) of Knowledge : 

Organization (types) of Knowledge Declarative Memory - Semantic Memory - Episodic Memory Procedural Memory Imagery

Functional Characteristics of Episodic Memory : 

Functional Characteristics of Episodic Memory rapid, one-shot acquisition (often < 1 second) high capacity (~ 50,000 episodes ) responsiveness to partial cues (pattern completion) high specificity (pattern separation) response to a matching cue clearly distinct from response to a near miss but support reminding robust against mild cell loss Shastri, L. (n.d.). Cognitive information processing: Take a cue from the brain.

Concept Formation :
