Document Summary
Our long-term memory contains thousands of procedural records which link past. Strength = the more a procedural record has been exercised (like recently), the. Records of the consequences that came from actions taken in specific situations. Lecture 4 - 10/4 - action assembly theory. Action assembly theory (aat) = the cognitive/mental structures and processes that underlie the production of messages behaviors with their consequences. Constitute procedural knowledge = knowledge about how to do things. Procedural records = long term memory structures that record the relationships between actions, outcomes, and situations and stored for future use (something happening and stored from the past in our long term memory structure) Procedural records vary in terms of: stronger it gets (depends on how often and recently they"ve been used) Activation = certain procedural records are activated when the current situation matches the situation features stored in them, and when our current goals match the outcome features stored in them processing capacity.
