*process of memory seems to be modular, occurs in components so will look back into information processing theory. Visuospatial processing test (rey test) looking in processing of right hemisphere. Most obvious test of processing left hemisphere list of words to memorize. After 20 seconds give new colored pencil (want to see what u copy next) . 1st part of test = copy the figure, beneath the figure in up-down rotation want to see wat u start drawing. Want to make sure ur visuospatially processing info in front of u. This type of into = something u encode rehearsing part of working memory process (repeat, copy = rehearse) * then ask to put it away, take paper out and copy from memory. Most people when copying the figure make the outline of the rectangle first. * most effective of encoding is in jists/schemas so most effective way of copying the figure making big outlines and then working on the little pieces.
