Document Summary
Levels of processing paved the way for a more sophisticated understanding of stm. Limited capacity store for retaining information over a period of seconds to minutes. For performing mental operations on the contents of this store. Information can be acted on and processed, not maintained by rehearsal. Attentional processes allow us to make behaviour purposeful and goal directed appropriate social behaviour limited capacity. Limited capacity attentional system that controls the phonological loops and the can only respond to a certain amount of things at one time sketchpad and related them to information from long term memory. Plans and co-ordinates complex behaviour goal orientation focus attention control of social behaviour switching between tasks, updating memory, inhibition of distracting. Uid intelligence (planning and problem solving) governed by circuitry in the pre-frontal cortex. The ability to form a coherent plan in compromised after damage to prefrontal. Semantic memory (crystallised intelligence) is not a ected by damage to.
