Document Summary
Sm codes are primitive (features: ex: lines and dots. Sm duration is short (~250ms: memory trace does not last long. How can we recognize patterns: sm has large capacity that allows us to recognize large amounts of information and then interpret it by: Then selecting certain things for further processing: template models. Match stimulus to template in memory: pattern recognition consists of matching stimulus to a template or model stored in your mind, matching process involves: stimulus template. Support for idea: computers: pattern matching with computers emerged to begin. Ex: when you go shopping there is a bar code on each item. This barcode (stimulus) is scanned and matched to a template in the computer which brings up the correct price. This theory would not be very efficient for massive amounts of information (which is what we intake) Each person you see, each sounds you hear, etc it is all very complex: strict match.
