Document Summary
Information processing approach- we view the mind as a complex symbol which processes the information we receive, rather than merely responding to stimuli. This tendency is domain general, that is, not talking about any particular domain . We have a general ability to process all kids of information. Ancillary deficit hypothesis- this theory shows that infants have low information processing capabilities and their system gets easily overwhelmed with core theories. This is why they are not able to show advanced cognitive functions. Stimulus input- this is what you can think or hear or feel, what sense do your senses give about the environment. The store model focuses on the general units of cognitive functioning, assuming that we hold or store information in three parts: The sensory register- represents sights and sounds. First the information enters, it is stored briefly. Sights and sounds are represented directly but stored only momentarily.
