psychology thing

The physiological process of receiving, organising, and interpreting info received by our sense organs into meaningful objects and events, interpretation is affected by contexts, cultures, and past experiences.

The mental representation the brain creates using information detected by the senses.

• sensation

• perception

• flint and steel

the ______ process by which sensory organs detect stimuli from the environment and transmit info from the brain for interpretation, does not engage the brain.

Match the following

• interpretation

• Specialised neurons detect sensory info in the sense organs of the body by sensory receptors.

• transduction

• Selected info is categorised allowing for the arrangement of meaningful patterns, these differ between each person and their experiences

• reception

• stimulus energy is transformed into electrochemical energy in sensory receptors in sense organs

• organisation

• The process of assigning meaning to sensory info so we understand what it represents, influenced by psychological factors such as past experiences, expectations or motivations.

• transmission

• The movement of electrochemical energy from sense receptors to the brain for interpreting

Attention definition

selective attention

• The process of concentrating on chosen stimuli while disregarding the others

• The process of focusing on two or more stimuli simultaneousl

• the ability to focus ones attention on a particular stimulus while filtering out a range of other stimuli

• amygdala

_________: the cognitive function through which information and past experiences are actively encoded, stored, and retrieved.

Match the following

• storage

• the retention of encoded information over time. Memories are linked through neural connections and networks which help retrieve info

• duration

• the maximum amount of information that can be held in memory at one time

• encoding

• processing information into the memory system by extracting meaning. We associate incoming info with what we already know

• retrieval

• the length of time information is retained in memory before it is forgotten

• capacity

• the process of getting information back out and recovering It from memory storage. It is central to memory as It allows us to access stored info

Who made the multi store memory model?

• Atkinson + shiffrin (1968)

• Craig + Tulving (1975)

• Baddeley + Hitch (1974)

• Steve and Alex (Minecraft)

TRUE OR FALSE: semantic encoding: encoding of meaning, including meanings of words such as categories

• TRUE

• FALSE

a view of short-term memory as a dynamic storage system capable of simultaneously holding multiple pieces of information.

• woking memory model (baddeley and hitch 1973)

• working memory model (baddeley and hitch 1974)

• Multi store memory model (Atkinson and shiffrin 1968)

• Multi store memory model (Atkinson and shiffrin 1969)
