CI 152 Ed Psych 6
Cognitive: Information Processing Theory
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What question was asked by the Information Processing Theory? | Are memories permanent? |
| What does the IPT distinguish between? | forgetting and retrieval |
| A very brief memory from which much input is simply discarded: | sensory register (the first area of memory) |
| Lasts only about 15 seconds or so, with a capacity of 7 to 8 bits of unrelated information: | short term memory |
| May be unlimited in capacity and duration: | long term memory |
| When does a memory become permanent? | If one rehearses short term memory or connects it to something already learned. |
| When things one once had to carefully think through become automatic through repetition they are: | reflexive |
| mechanism controlling the deployment of attention: | executive control |
| Things that are discrepant are effective: | dissimilarity |
| Stimuli which elicit an emotional response are usually effective: | emotional value |
| Doing is more effective than only hearing or seeing: | physical involvement |
| Employing more than one sensory experience in the presentation: | multiple coding |
| Practicing beyond the point at which one can demonstrate the learning: | overlearning |
| What two things are volatile and not permanent? | Sensory register and short term memory. |
| Can hold a great deal of information and has a duration of about 5 seconds before memory is stored or lost: | sensory register |
| Has a longer duration then sensory register, but is of limited capacity, about 7-8 bits of unrelated information: | short term memory |
| What greatly affects the movement of information to long term memory? | pace of presentation and number of interruptions (distractions). |
| Theoretically, the duration and capacity of ?? is unlimited? | long term memory |
| What are three types of long-term memories? | semantic, procedural, episodic |
| These memories involve mostly verbal information (rules, facts, etc.) and are the most difficult to retrieve: | semantic memories |
| These memories are of routines one has to follow and are easier to retrieve than semantic memories: | procedural memories |
| These memories are of things that one has experienced: | episodic memories |
| A way to explain our ability to perform complex acts that we have learned to automate over time: | executive control |
| What can executive control govern? | what we attend to, how we process information, what we do physically in certain situations |
