|
What is the most important sense? |
Vision |
|
|
What analyzes the raw input from the senses? |
Perception |
|
|
What are the three types of perception? |
Unitized. Bottom-up processing. Top down processing. |
|
|
What is unitized? |
Recognized from patterns in long-term memory. i.e shown a picture of a dog and then asked what it is. |
|
|
What is bottom-up processing? |
Input presented in a clear audible or visual form for processing. i.e. All the information is there so I can read and understand it. |
|
|
What is top down processing? |
Input must be processed or manipulated to be understood. From rapid perception rapid recognition, this is the worst one. i.e. You have to process it. |
|
|
How do you maximize bottom up processing? |
Good font. Lower case letters. Well constructed icons. Minimize abbreviation and acronyms. |
|
|
How do you maximize unitized input? |
Training |
|
|
What is Crystalline intelligence? |
Wisdom. Gets better with age. |
|
|
What type of memory is thought of as a good measure of intelligence? |
Working |
|
|
What type of memory is called the scratch pad for the brain? |
Working |
|
|
What are the differences between working memory and long-term memory? |
Size. Duration. Effort (Retrieval from short term memory is quick and effortless). |
|
|
What is an example of sensory memory? |
Listening to music, it stops, and you can hear it for a brief second. |
|
|
What are the three types of working memory? |
Visuo-spatial sketchpad. Episodic buffer. Phonological Loop. |
|
|
What is visuo-spatial sketchpad? |
Holds visual images and optical memory. i.e. where did I park? |
|
|
What is episodic buffer? |
Hold multi dimensional images. i.e. teacher walking back-and-forth. |
|
|
What is phonological loop? |
Deals with sound acoustic or verbal information. Can be refreshed with rehearsal. i.e. talking, reading memory. |
|
|
What is the Central executive? |
It is a supervisory system. It controls attention and information flow. It processes information. It is the real part of cognition that does the thinking. |
|
|
What is a chunk? |
The way information may be grouped together. How long information remains is dependent on chunk size. Example in notes is the word Mississippi. |
|
|
What are the human factor guidelines for short term memory? |
Minimize working memory workload. Exploit chunking. Split between Visuo-spatial sketchpad and phonological loop. |
|
|
What is the example of visuo-spatial sketchpad and phonological loop? |
Analog reading was a visuo-spatial. Digital reading was phonological. Can remember the visual (analog) better than the numbers. |
|
|
What is a poka-yoke device? |
Any mechanism that either prevents a mistake from being made or makes the mistake obvious at a glance. Poke-yoke means prevention of errors in Japanese. |
|
|
How many words can be stored in long-term storage? |
50,000 |
|
|
What are the strengths of long-term memory? |
Frequency and recency. Linkage/processing. |
