Objectives • Define and apply memory, information processing model, sensory registers, and attention • Diagram the sequence of information processing
Basics • Memory: The ability to remember the things that we have experienced, imagined, and learned. • Information processing model: compares human memory to computer-like processes
Sensory Registers • Data entry points for raw info from the senses • We primarily rely on visual and auditory senses, esp in regards to our memory.
