Document Summary
Influence of prior knowledge: familiarity affects problem-solving outcomes and memory performance, experience v. maturation. Mechanisms of change: three primary mechanisms of change, according to siegler, encoding: the process by which information gets into memory, automaticity: the ability to process information with minimal effort (e. g. ) Tying your shoes, learning to read, etc: strategy use: the creation of new procedures in terms of processing information. George a. miller: presented two theoretical ideas that are fundamental to the information processing framework and cognitive psychology. Information processing theory: a cognitive approach to understanding how the human mind transforms sensory information from the environment through the senses. Human processing vs. computer processing: sensory register. Input devices: short-term memory, central processing unit, long-term memory, hard drive. Information is sensed, perceived, and attended to: storage. Information is stored for either a brief or period of time depending upon the processes following encoding: retrieval.
