- automatic attention
- things that are novel or unexpected
- Social Cognitive theory on mental activity
- it works along with the environment to affect behavior
- long term memory
- information is stored through underlying meanings/ semantic codes
- behaviorism
- you go into the kitchen and you touch the hot stove and get burned. Next time you go into the ktichen you don't touch the stove because you learned it was hot last time. This is an example of...
- elaboration
- you are inferring information that was not directly presented to you
- .information processing theory
- pato means duck. Make a picture when you think of the world. Think of the duck in a pot being cooked. This is an example of...
- social cognitive theory
- she didn't know how to drive a lcutch, but had a boyfriend that did. And unconsciously she watched him do it so long that after she tried it for a little while she got the hang of it. This is an example of....
- long term memory
- say it stays forever and it can still be there but you can loose the connection to that information so you forget how to remember it
- social cognitive theory
- how we learn through observation (modeling)
- meaningful learning
- take tihngs that areknown and relate the new information to it in an attempt to speed up encoding process
- rehearsal
- repeating information, maintenance rehersal
- factor affecting retrieval cue
- atomaticity
- information processing theory on mental activity
- if you tel them what they need to learn and give them all the resources they need, then their brain can just do it like a little hard drive
- superimposed meaningful structure
- body of imformation that can be learned by superimposing meaningful visual or verbal organization (HOME for great lakes)
- sensory register
- capacity is enourmous becuase there are a million things coming in at all times, but we choose what to pay attention to
- automatic attention
- movement
- meaningful learning
- connecting new information to prior knowledge
- sensory register
- you have a million things coming at you at all times and you can only focus on so much because of the limited space in your working memory
- behavorism
- how we learn to act and react to our environment
- cognitive psychology
- information processing theory is also known as
- three learning theories
- behaviorism, social cognitive theory, information processing theory
- automatic attention
- physical changes
- working memory
- you have up to 20 seconds or it is lost
- factor affecting retrieval cue
- multiple connections
- sensory register
- like a sponge soaking up everything all at once
- behaviorism view of environment
- they feel like all learning happens because of things our environment imposes on us. We are just here dealing and learning how to deal with it.
- organization
- making connections with various pieces of information
- five ways to encode declarative knowledge
- rehearsal, meaningful learning, organization, elaboration, visual imagery
- behaviorism view of mental activity
- We are just reacting to things. It is inconsequential and you don't have control over what you react to in the environment because it is going to happen anyway.
- working memory
- where the information processing comes in
- working memory
- perform maintenance rehearsal to make information stay here
- attention
- needed to be able to move things from sensory register to working memory
- sensory register
- the visual lasts about 1 second without focus and the auditory about 2 to 3 without focus
- rehearsal
- when students have little or no prior knowledge to what we're trying to teach
- two types of short term memory
- sensory register and working
- verbal mediation
- word or phrase that creates a logical connection between two pieces of information
- social cognitive theory view of environment
- the environment is important because your surroundings can affect your behavior
- three reasons for inability to retrieve
- retrieval failure, interferences, decay
- automatic attention
- familiarity
- learning theory that bridges the other two
- social cognitive theory
- all learning theories
- you have made a permanent change, relative permanence, and role of experience
- three types of mnemonics
- verbal mediation, keyword method, and superimposed meaningful structure
- information processing theory
- explains how the brain takes in information -> manipulates information ->stores information -> retrieves information
- semantic
- thoughts, ideas about concepts. written and spoken knowledge on a subject
- working memory
- you can encode into your long term memory from here
- procedural
- procedures people learn. often involve both a physical and a mental activity
- factor affecting retrieval cue
- learning beyond mastery
- automatic attention
- things that are physically different
- sensory register
- things can only stay here for 2 to 3 seconds unless you chose to pay attention to it
- information processing theory view of environment
- the environment doesn't matter because it is all mental activity
- working memory
- can hold averagely up to 7 things plus or minus 2
- automatic attention
- things that are repeated
- metacognition
- knowing how we learn and remember and knowing what works for us
- long term memory
- holds all of our memories and everything we have truly learned
- automatic attention
- personal relavance
- cognitive psychology
- built on the ideas of constructivism
- factor affecting retrieval cue
- retrieval cues
- working memory
- holds our thoughts, attempts to solve problems, and holds your thinking
- elaboration
- write a story and ask questions like why do you think this happens and how can we use this information in our world today
- keyword method
- aids memory by makign connection between two things (pato = duck)
- information processing theory
- how we put content into our long term memory
- long term memory
- is huge and they don't even know how much it can really hold
- meaningful learning
- use sports to relate it to physics and car payments to compound interest
- rehearsal
- learning the math times tables by doing them over and over
- constructivism
- when learning you connect things to an existing schema such as when someone thinks about charlie brown -> cartoon ->dog -> blankets-> football-> halloween->christmas
- factor affecting retrieval cue
- frequent use of knowledge
- selective attention
- actively choose to pay attention to something
