Mental Aspect 2 Flashcards
Plays very important role in learning
The human information processing system
Once the neural impulses reach the brain, another system or process will be activated called
Thinking process
Activate important subsystems to convert neural impulses into meaningful information
Knowledge
Level 1
The sensory level
Requires stimulation and activation of senses
Level 1. The sensory level
Some other stimuli interfere and distract the encoding process
Interference
Weak stimuli that do not reach the sensory threshold tend to deminish and decay
Information decay
No matter how significant or strong the stimulation is, it is only the person who decides an sets himself or helself
Lack of attention
Level 2
The mental level
After receiving learning information via the sensory level these information proceed to the brain for mental processing
Level 2. The mental level
Cognitive faculty helps us recall, remember, and retain any information for future use
Memory
Holds information tentatively
Sensory memory
Holds information on a relatively shorter period
Short-term memory
Holds information on a relatively longer period
Long-term memory
It is converted to a sensory impulse, through a process
Encoding
