PSYC 308 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Social Cognition
Document Summary
We have an expectation about how much should the translator is talking and how much the director is talking. The actor is wondering if something is very wrong (very loud voice). If everybody in the background is laughing vs. if everybody is sitting quietly: rehearsal: what information do we preserve in working memory, storage: if you store the information is stored, you can retrieve the info. later. But the key is you need to choose which information you are storing: utilization: need to make a prediction about what should he do in the future. Maybe try to do something different: information overload. We have limited capacity for processing the data. Conscious processing: what we are thinking in our head (don"t need to know the numbers, just know the numbers are small) Unconscious processing: way too short to get a complete processing of every sensory input: solution. Automation: you learned how to type without conscious effort.
