IB SEHS 5.2 Information Processing

Information processing is

• the process we go through to make a decision and respond to a stimulus

• explanation on how we think

• memory encoding

• sensory information

One of the first models of information processing was the

• Welford's model

• Signal Detection

• The Black Box Model

• Sensory input

All of the following are a part of the Black Box Model of information processing EXCEPT

• Input

• CNS

• Output

• Mechanism

According to Welford's Model of information processing, a decision is directly affected by

• Long term memory and perception

• Sensation and STM

• Feedback and Input

• LTM and Sensation

When information goes from STM to LTM it is called

• encoding

• retrieval

• storage

• transition
