LECTURE 20 - information processing (stage 1) Flashcards
what is information processing ?
absorbing how someone responds to a stimuli
what are the two types of information processing ?
behaviourism and cognitivism
between the organism, input and output, how does information processing travel ?
input → the organism → output
what is behaviourism ?
new behaviours or changes in behaviour are acquired through associations between stimulus and response
what is cognitivism ?
learning occurs through internal processing of information
what is the information processing 3 stage model ?
input → stimulus identification → response selection → response programming → output
stages of information processing are ____ and ____
serial and discrete
what is Richard Shiffrin known for ?
- field of human memory
- contributions to the empirical and theoretical investigation of both short- and long-term memory
what 2 things happen at the stimulus identification stage ?
stimulus detection and pattern recognition
what happens at stage 1 of the stimulus detection stage ?
- sensory information attained from external sources transformed into neurological signal(s)
- neurological code mapped into a meaningful event
what happens at stage 2 of the stimulus detection stage ?
- extracting patterns for use in later stages of information processing
- natural or trained phenomenon
what is the little Albert experiment ?
The experimenters left Albert alone with the rat, but each time he reached for it, they would hit a hammer against metal, causing a banging noise. After several pairings, experimenters only showed Albert the rat. This sight alone caused Albert to cry, which was his standard reaction to loud sounds
what was the result after the little Albert experiment ?
anything furry after being conditioned a new response of fear
do chest masters have better or worse recall memory ?
better
who is Anders Ericsson ?
pioneered the concept that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert
what is chase and simons’ cognitive psychology pattern recognition assignment ?
- chess board with pieces, had a situation where they presented participants with a belief snapshot of the chest board; showing a real game
what are the three groups of people studied in the chase and simons’ “cognitive psychology pattern recognition” experiment ?
- elite players
- amature players
- players who have never played chess before
which group studied in the chase and simons’ “cognitive psychology pattern recognition assignment” gains perfection the quickest and by which trial ?
the elite players and by the 4th trial
what is the snarc effect ?
- spacial numerical association of response coat
- usually ascending order rom left to right
- look at number on screen and click a key associated
what type of people tend to violate snarc more quickly ?
people with higher artistic ability
who did the doctor, resident, radiologist, etc. research ?
bouts et al.
what were the 5 groups measured during the boutis et al experiment ?
- med student
- resident
- fellow
- attending
- radiologist
which out of the 5 doctor positions had the most accurate diagnosis ?
radiologist
why do people with earlier birthdays have a bigger representation among professional teams ?
- physical, mental and skill growth (since older and more time)
- get noticed by coaches earlier
- get picked by better teams
- become more confident in their abilities
