Question 1

Automaticity

p.61

Answer 1

A mode of information processing in which processing of incoming stimuli and selection seem to occur in the absence of conscious awareness.

Question 2

Information-processing systems

p. 62

Answer 2

The cognitive systems responsible for manipulating information in all its aspects, i.e. receiving, selecting, storing, integrating and using information.
Psychologists produce models of these systems that are based on behavioural and neuroanatomical/neuropsychological data.
Information-processing models often rely heavily on analogies to computer information-processing systems.
