PSY312H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Long-Term Memory, Eidetic Memory, Sensory Memory
Document Summary
Copy a figure that is unfamiliar and complex. Gives information about the way that you process information. Not as efficient to process the peripheral first. Is the image that you drew smaller or larger than the original. Atkinson, chiffron were the first to propose this model. Most widely accepted view on how we process information. Modular theory, really useful for the development of artificial development. First part- incoming information: sensory information we have to sense information coming in. 5 senses, registering all 5 of these senses at the same time, Sight is the most important, sensitive detectors (cones and rod, detect electromagnetic radiation; 2nd most important is hearing(auditory, vibrations of molecules in the air, then turn it into meaning) detecting different wave lengths of sounds (amplitude, pitch) touch(somatosensory); pressure (when pointed out), filter it, heat, pain, vibration. -receptors in the skin help determine what vibration. Filtering a lot of stuff out, that you do not want to attend to.
