Understanding Cognitive Processes and Memory Systems

Explore the fascinating world of cognitive processes and memory systems, from sensory memory to long-term memory. Dive into attention, perception, encoding, and retrieval as you uncover how information is transformed and stored. Discover the mechanisms of metacognition and how schemas and automaticity help overcome limitations in memory. Enhance your understanding of cognitive actions and intellectual functions that shape our learning experiences.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Information Stores • Repositories that hold information. • Sensory memory • Working memory • Long-term memory

  2. Cognitive Processes • Intellectual actions that transform the information and move it from one store to another. • Attention, perception, encoding and retrieval

  3. Metacognition • People’s awareness of and control over their cognitive processes. • Mechanism we use to monitor our learning

  4. Sensory Memory • The part of our cognitive system that briefly holds information until we attend to it.

  5. Working Memory • Conscious “thinking” part of our cognitive learning system (short term memory) • 10-20 seconds • 7 items

  6. Overcoming Limitations • Schemas • Interrelated networks of information constructed in working memory and recorded in long-term memory • Automaticity • Results from overloading a skill to the point that it can be performed with little conscious effort

  7. Cognitive Processes • Attention • consciously focusing on a stimulus • Perception • Attaching meaning to a stimulus • Encoding • Representing meaning in long-term memory

  8. Cognitive Processes • Meaningfulness • Number of connections or links between an idea and the other ideas in long-term memory • Retrieval • pulling information from long-term memory back to working memory

  9. Long-Term Memory • Our permanent information store
