Cog Assumptions + memory

• Assumptions​

  Computer Processing Model​

  Humans are hardwired by biology (nature) and programmed by the environment (nurture)​

  Information Processing Model​

  Input – Process – Output ​

  Environment (senses) - brain - behaviour​
• 3 stages of information processing

  Encoding (input) - converting the information we receive from our senses into something that we can represent mentally​

  • Storage – holding information over a period of time​
  • Retrieval (output) - recovering stored information​
• Memory​
