Information Processing Model: memory processing is just like a computer
-Encoding requires no conscious effort
-Storage
-Retrieval

Three Stage Memory Model

Sensory Memory Storage
-Iconic Memory
-Echoic Memory

Once Sensory Memory is encoded, it goes to the short term memory storage (Rote Memory)
-Capacity=5-9 items


Once we make meaning of something in short term memory, it goes to long term memory (Elaborate Rehearsal)

Sensory Registers= "waiting rooms"

There were many buildings and a taxi

Rest, book, short, hat, soap, dark, hair

1. Forgot to set my alarm
2. Forgot to do a certain homework assignment
3. Forgot to

Tip of the Tongue Phenomenon- seldom used words

Decay Theory- things we have learned in the past gradually goes away

Interference Theory- Proactive is when the old information interferes with the new and retroactive is when the new information interferes with the old (one memory competes with another)

Long Term Memory Interference:

Reconstruction- Long term memory changes over time, eye witness testimony not reliable

Schema- mental script, use the past

Serial Position Effect: Remember first and last things but nothing in between

Mood Congruent Memory- remember things depending on mood

Benjamin Worf- linguistic relativity, language determines the way we think, snow and eskimos

BF Skinner- language is learned through association and reinforcement, praise for speaking

Chomsky- learn and speak language used in the environment

Phonemes- smallest units of language, letters and their sounds, change phoneme, change meaning
Ex: c-a-t ------ b-a-t

Morphemes- smallest units that have meaning
Ex: A, I pre, ed, un

Cognition-
Concepts- mental grouping of similar objects, events, ideas, or people. 

Development of concepts- we form some concepts by definitions. But mostly we form concepts by a mental image or a best example (Robin is prototype of bird but penguin is not)

Development of Concepts- Concepts tend to mentally represented as schemas or generalizations developed about categories of objects, events, and people. Schemas help us uderstand what the concepts ids and often cause us to generalize expectations about what the concept does

Problem Solving
Three ways to solve problems
Algorithms- methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem
Heuristics: simple thinking strategies that allow us to make judgments and solve problems efficiently (increase likelihood of success but cannot assure it like algorithms)
Insight- involves sudden new realization of a solution to a problem (often need some prior experiences and initial trial and error to gain insight, this is in humans and animals,)(tip of the tongue phenomenon)

Obstacles in solving problems

Fixation: inability to see a problem from a fresh perspective. Impediment to problem solving
Examples:
Mental Set: tendency for old patterns of problem solving to persist, and make it impossible for use to see new ways to solve the problem
Functional Fixedness: tendency to think of the only familiar functions for objects
Confirmation Bias: a tendency to search for info that confirms a personal bias (we seek evidence to support ideas and tend to dismiss evidence that is contrary to our way of thinking

Using and misusing heuristics
Representative heuristic: judging the likelihood of things or objects in terms of how well they seem to represent, or match a particular prototype, allows people to make quick judgments
Availability heuristic: cognitive shortcut in which the probability of an event is determined by how easily the event can be brought to mind (you choose the alternative that is most mentally "available")
Overconfidence: a tendency to overestimate the accuracy of one's beliefs and judgments
Exaggerated Fear: opposite of overconfidence

Framing Decisions: how an issue is presented can significantly affect decisions and judgments (Marketing ground beef as 75 percent lean rather than 25 percent fat)

Belief bias: the tendency for one's preexisting beliefs to distort logical reasoning sometimes by making invalid conclusions
Belief Perseverance: our tendency to cling to our beliefs in the face of contrary evidence 
-Belief perseverance is different because belie

-Cognition is using our brain to process new information and make meaning of it.

Memory Improvement Techniques

1. Pay attention and reduce interference

2. Use rehearsal techniques

3. Organization

4. Counteract serial position effect

5. Time management

6. Employ self monitoring overlearning

6. Use mnemonic devices
