Lesson 13    
Topic: INFORMATION PROCESSING
   Reporter: LUZVIMINDA GAYAK

*Information Processing
    -is a cognitive theoritical framework that focus on how knowledge enter and is stored in and is retrieved from our memory.

*Information Processing Theory
  - describe how the learner receive information (stimuli ) from the environment through the senses and what take place in between determines whether the information will continue to pass through the sensory register.

                    TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE

A. General vs. Specific
 - this involves whether the knowledge is useful in task or only in one.

B. Declarative
  - refer to factual knowledge. They relate the nature of how things are in the form of a word or an image.

       STAGES IN INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORY


1. Encoding- information is sensed, perceived and attended to.
2. Storage- the information is stored for either a brief or extended period of time. 
3. Retrieval- is brought back at the appropriate time and reactivated.

                           SENSORY REGISTER 


CAPACITY
 - receives a great amount of information but it is more than what our minds can hold or perceived.

DURATION
- the sensory register only hold the information for an extremely brief period.

                     THE ROLE  OF ATTENTION

* To bring information into concioussness.
* Getting through this attentional filter.
* Before information is perceived, it is known " precategoral information".


                   KINDS OF MEMORY

A.) Sensory Memory 
     - refers to the initial, momentary storage of information lasting only for an instance.
* Iconic Memory
    - storage of visual information.
* Echoic Memory
   - disappear within 3 or 4 seconds.
B.) Short-term Memory
     - maintains for a limited time.
Duration: around 18 seconds or less.
C.) Long-term Memory
      - is the final or permanent storing house of memory information. 
Capacity: LTM has unlimited capacity.
Duration: is the LTM is indifinite.

                     IMPROVING MEMORY 

* CHUNKING- is a meaningful groupings of items together.
* MNEMONIC- a formal technique for organizing materials.
* REHEARSAL- is the transfer of information from short-term memory.

                  MEASURING MEMORY 

1. RECALL
2. RECOGNITION
3. RE-LEARNING
4. ROLE-MEMORY
5. FLASHBULB

My Reflection

This lesson wanted to emphasize the advantage of technique's for us to be easily learned from different subject areas. This lesson also implied us the importance of experiences for us to have a concrete understanding on the particular topic that we wanted to learned.
