Question 2 Information Processing Theory
How do the create/store mental representation of it?
Question 3 Information Processing Theory
How do they recall information?
Question 4 Information Processing Theory
What background information (schemata) did they have to understand new information?
Attention
We pay attention to what we already know and what we need to know and when we learn a new task
Hippocampus
organizes and distributes short term memory to long term memory
Schemata

Initial learning of information
Metacognition
thinking about thinking “how did you get that answer?”
Phonological loop
connects visual and sound
Visuospatial sketchpad
connects visual and the space around you
Episodic buffer
