Week 7 lecture
LME and Information Processing Theory (IPT)
IPT
Metaphor for IPT is the computer
Processed in the mind to become something we learn – known as memories
Connected to schemas, computing, AI and computer models
Series of mental processes – architecture in the brain
Brain working with the mind (abstract)
Cognitive – connectionist and symbolic or systems model
Parts:
Ideas
Can be seen as an ‘other’
Categories
Need a prototype
Idea of examples, attributes and categories
Frame of reference that the mind is accustomed to using
Use of Procedures – need to use the right prior knowledge and be able to plan
Piaget:
Schemas and scripts
Different ways of organising and categorising knowledge
Look at individual and cultural differences – not learning styles
Associated with theory of mind
To do with procedural and conditional knowledge
Declarative (knowing what), Procedural (knowing how) and Conditional (knowing when,
where and why)
IPT and memory:
Short term and long term memories
Long term (explicit and implicit
Explicit (episodic and semantic)
Implicit (priming and procedural)

Document Summary
Processed in the mind to become something we learn known as memories. Connected to schemas, computing, ai and computer models. Series of mental processes architecture in the brain. Cognitive connectionist and symbolic or systems model. Frame of reference that the mind is accustomed to using. Use of procedures need to use the right prior knowledge and be able to plan. Different ways of organising and categorising knowledge. Look at individual and cultural differences not learning styles. Declarative (knowing what), procedural (knowing how) and conditional (knowing when, where and why) Ipt of sensory perception, attention, memory, executive functioning and emotion. Role of perception of make sense of sensations. Gestalt fitting to the brain that is looking for images (figure, proximity, continuity, closure and similarity) Top-down (mental, conceptually driven and constructed) and bottom-up (sensory, data driven and direct) Stars with visual involves emotions, culture, patters and predispositions can be tricked by standpoint. Perception is more than data from the sense.
