This is about “knowing when and why” to apply larative or procedural strategies, the Information Processing Theory stages of IPT involve the functioning of the ariferm memory and the long-term memory, Stages in the progression of external i into the intemal cognitive structure of mental model, etc,), senses, sensory Basically, IPT asserts information becoming hoice (schema, concept, — Information is Sensed, perceived and attended to. ge — The information is stored for either a brief or extended Of time, depending upon the processes following encoding, rieval — The information is brought back at the appropriate € and reactivated for use on a current task, the true measure of ive memory, 2 IPT plausible is the notion that Cognitive processes could be 4 stage-like model. The Stages to processing follow a trail 1 information is taken into the memory system, and brought back needed.

STM maintains information for a limite time, until the leamer has adequate resources to process the infop mation, or until the information is forgotten * Duration: Around 18 seconds ‘or less. * To reduce the loss of information in 18 seconds, you need to do maintenance rehearsal. It is using repetition to keep the information active in STM, like when you repeat a phone number just given over and over. ‘Long-Term Memory (LTM) PEA ETM is the final or permanent storing house for memory information. It holds the stored information until needed again, { Capacity: LTM has unlimited capacity | Duration: Duration in the LTM is indefinite Executive Cont Processes Se processes guide the flow amer make informed decisions System, help the Ie Interference — information in Rehearsal ~ This is repeating information verbatim, or aloud. Meaningful Learning ~ This is making connections b information and prior knowledge. : Organization — It is making connections among, various pieces information.

It is connecting info with | old to gain meaning. oe Visual Imagery — This means forming a “picture” of the information we Generation — Things we ‘prodyce’ are easier to remember than it things we ‘hear’, Context ~ Remembering the situation helps recover information, | Personalization ~ It is making the information relevant to the individual. Other Memory Methods Serial Position Effect (recency and primacy) — You will | remember the beginning and end of a ‘list’ more readily * Part Learning — Break up the ‘list’ or “chunk” information t increase memorization. i Distributed Practice — Break up learning sessions, rather th cramming all the info in at once (Massed Practice) * Mnemonic Aids — These are memory techniques that lea may employ to help them retain and retrieve information effectively.
