PPT-The Architecture of Human Memory Information Processing Theory

The Architecture of Human Memory Information Processing Theory A Closer Look Epistemic Heritage To The Model Memory research dates back to 1885 with Hermann Ebbinhaus who looked at memory in terms of nonsense symbols. Outline:. The nature of the information-processing approach. Attention. Memory. Expertise. Metacognition. 1. The nature of the information-processing approach. Information, memory, and thinking. Cognitive resources: capacity and speed of processing information. Refers to mental efficiency of the whole system.. Reaction time tests (some found on Internet). http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sleep/sheep/. Short term memory tasks (e.g. digit span).. Working memory (input is combined with LTM data, so the mind has to ‘work’).. Andrea Stevenson Crisp,. School Psychologist. Marcia Williams. Parent. Andrea Cronin. Special education resource teacher. Activity . Processing refers to how the brain takes in, uses, learns, reasons, stores, retrieves, and expresses information. . A result of several influences. Especially:. Learning theory. S-R; S-. O. -R. Computer science/Information processing. Turing. Intelligent machines. Information theory. Shannon/Bell Labs. Proposes:. A series of processes are performed on environmental information that then affect the behavior of the organism (person). Information Processing . Theory. A Closer Look. Epistemic Heritage To The Model. Memory research dates back to 1885 with Hermann Ebbinhaus who looked at memory in terms of nonsense symbols.. In the 1950s cognitive scientists began creating models that acknowledge the stages of acquisition storage and retrieval.. Encodes . Packages info . Stores. Safely keeps info for later use. Retrieves. Brings info back into the conscious mind. Do you think that the brain works like a computer? . Three Types of Memory. In humans, information processing occurs in three systems: . Three Key Processes in . Memory. Encoding. :. Getting Information into Memory. Attention . = focusing . awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. ..

Ursula K. Le Gui. Memory. Process by which information is:. Acquired. Encoding. Stored in the brain. Storage. Later retrieved. Retrieval. Eventually (possibly) forgotten. Information-Processing Model of Memory. Chapter 7. Cognition . Information-Processing Model . Encoding.  . The . processing of information into the memory systems. Storage.  . The retention of encoded information over time. Retrieval. The Information Processing Approach. Information processing . is a computer-like view of cognition that examines how humans acquire, interpret and store information. . The theory addresses how children develop cognitive skills such as focused attention, working memory and self-management. These skills are sometimes collectively referred to as . Knowledge and error flow from the same mental processes, only success can tell the one from the other.. (Ernst Mach, 1905/1976). Overview of Human-Machine Systems. The Human-Machine Interface.
