Document Summary
Cognitions occur between the stimulus and response. These cognitions are deliberations, such as predictions, expectations, interpretations, and evaluations, which can be based on experience. Internal processes are as important are as important as external ones: cognitive processes are organized. Insight: the sudden understanding of how to solve a problem. Sensory memory preserves information in its original sensory form for a short period of time. The sensation of the stimulus lingers briefly after the stimulus is removed. The information decays if it doesn"t become part of short term memory. You need to pay attention in order for it to be a stimulus. Pattern recognition gives meaning to stimuli and symbols. Contains information that we are consciously aware of or working on . Can hold information for 15 20 seconds. Has a limited capacity and can hold 7 2 pieces of information (memory span). Information is displaced if it doesn"t become part of long term memory.
