Information Processing

Information Processing

1. Sensory Memory

   • Incoming Stimuli
     • Visual Register
     • Auditory Register
     • Gustatory Register
     • Olfatory Register
     • Tactile Register

2. Working Memory

   • Further processing (temporaryly)
   • Central executive processes
     • Visuospatial sketchpad (VSSP)
     • Phonological Loop (PL)
     • Central Executive (CE)
   • Maintenance rehearsal

3. Long-Term Memory

   • Declarative knowledge
     • Semantic memory
     • Episodic memory
     • WHAT?
   • Procedural Knowledge
     • HOW?
   • Conditional Knowledge
     • WHEN and WHY?

4. Retrieval

   • Recognition and Recall
   • 3 Types
     • Retrieval and knowledge activation
     • Retrieval and reconstruction
     • Retrieval and forgetting

5. Attention

   • Automatic Processing
   • Conscious Processing

6. Perception

   • Memories and experiences
   • Context

7. Storing and Encoding

   • Rote learning
     • Rehearsal
     • Repetition
     • Drill
     • Practice
   • Meaningful learning methods
     • Elaboration
     • Organization

8. Metacognition

   • Knowledge of cognition
   • Control of cognition
