| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Working memory | once the stimulus has been perceptually encoded, it goes into ____. |
| Working memory | is a means of temporarily storing information or keeping it active while it is beeing processed for a response |
| Miller's rule | the upper limit for the capcity of working memory is approximately 7+-2 items known as ____ |
| Chunking | recall can be improve by the use of ___ or the grouping of similar items |
| Rehearsal | mentally repeating the numbers which shifts additional attentional resources to working memory can improve recall |
| 7 | it is estimated that the half-life for a memory store of three items is ___ seconds |
| long term memory, semantic memory, event memory | information from working memory may be transferrred to ___ if it will be needed for later use. This could be information related to general knowledge in ___ or information on specific events in one's life in the form of ___ |
| process of retrieving information | the ___ is the weak link and can be facilitated by frequent activation of that memory trace by the use of associations with previous knowledge |
| Decision making | is really the core of information processing, in which people evaluate alternatives and select an appropriate response |
| Situational awareness | an evaluation of all the cues received from the surrounding environment |
| Situational awareness | it requires the integration of cues or information into mental representations, ranging from simple schemata to complex mental models |
| Choice-reaction time experiment | the operator will respond to several stimuli with several appropriate responses |
| Choice-reaction time experiment | this can be considered as simple decision making and, based on the human information processing system, the response time should increase as the number of alternative stimuli increases |
| Hick-Hyman Law | the response is nonlinaer but when decision complexity is quantified in terms of the amount of information conveyed in bits, then response becomes linear |
| Speed-accuracy trade-off | The faster the operator tries to respond, the greater the number of errors. Similarly, if there is a requirement for very high accuracy, the response time will become slowe |
| Focused attention | a spotlight on a particular part of the human information processing system |
| Multi-tasking or Time-sharing | performing various tasks simultaneously |
| Sustained attention or Vigilance | the ability of an operator to maintain attention and remain alert over prolonged periods of time |
| Perception | the comparison of incoming stimulus information with stored knowledge to categorize the information |
| Perception | the most basic form of perception is simple detection, that is, determining whether the stimulus is actually present |
| Signal detection theory | models decisions made under uncertainty |
| d' | the ability to tell two "signals" apart |
| Beta | your bias to choose one over the other |
| Conservative | leaning towards right |
| Liberal | leaning towards left |
| Hit | saying there is a signal when the signal is present |
| Correction rejection | saying there is no signal when no signal is present |
| False alarm | saying there is a signal when no signal is present |
| Miss | saying there is no signal when the signal is present |
