Prelim Lesson 2 (INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORY )

Question 1

• group of theoretical frameworksthat address howhuman beings receive, mentally modify, remember information,on how such cognitive processes change over the course of development.
• Theory thatattempts to categorize the way information is recognized, utilized, and stored in memory.

Answer 1

INFORMATION PROCESSING THEORY

Question 2

THE FOUR PILLARS OF THE INFORMATION PROCESSING MODEL

Answer 2

• Thinking
• Analysis of Stimuli
• Situational Modification
• Obstacle Evaluation

Question 3

process of thinking includes the activities of perception of external stimuli, encoding the same and storing the data so perceived and encoded in one’s mental recesses.

Answer 3

Thinking

Question 4

which the encoded stimuli are altered to suit the brain’s cognition and interpretation process to enable decision making.

Answer 4

Analysis of Stimuli

Question 5

Analysis of Stimuli sub process

Answer 5

• encoding
• strategization
• generalization
• automatization

Question 6

• which an individualuses his experience,
• which is nothing other than a collection of stored memories,to handle a similar situation in the future.

Answer 6

Situational modification

Question 7

maintains that besides the subject’s individual development level,the nature of the obstacle or problem should also be taken into considerationwhile evaluating the subject’s intellectual, problem solving and cognitive acumen.

Answer 7

Obstacle Evaluation
