information processing approaches

approaches to cognitive development that seek to identify the ways that individuals take in, use, and store information.

Information processing

-The process by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved.
-cognitive development is based on the increasingly complex "mental programs" that people use to solve problems, similar to how a computer system works.

Encoding

the process by which information is initially recorded in a form usable to memory.
Example: Can't find gloves
1. Encoding-Took gloves off inside
2. Storage-took coat and gloves off at the same time.
3. Retrieval-look for gloves by coat

Storage

the process by which information is saved for future use.

Retrieval

the process by which material in memory storage is located, brought into awareness, and used. We are able to recall information through the use of retrieval cues, stimuli that permit people to recall information.

Automatization

the degree to which an activity requires attention. Processes that require relatively little attention are automatic; processes that require relatively large amounts of attention are controlled.
-Quicker processing of certain concepts allows for kids to focus on other mental problems.
-kids come to pair elements of information into concepts. They know that four legs, a tail, and barking is a dog. If the animal meows, it's a cat.

Cognitive Architecture

refers to the basic, enduring structures and features of information processing that are relatively constant over the course of development. Cognitive architecture determines the specific steps through which material is processed as it travels through the human mind.

Three-System Approach (Atkinson and Shiffrin)

this theory says that there are several steps in the process that permit the encoding, storage, and retention of information, similar to a computer that passes information through a sequential series of steps. The three-system model consists of a sensory store, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Sensory store

the initial, momentary storage of information, lasting only an instant.
-loss of information typically happening within 1 second.
-Types of information stored here are smell, taste,sound or pain.
Example - the scenery driving to school. You see it but don't "keep" it.

short term memory

It is in short-term memory that thoughtful, deliberate information processing first takes place, giving meaning to the raw, nonmeaningful information from the sensory store.
-Loss of information typically happening within 15 to 25 seconds.
-The capacity of short-term memory increases with age.
-can process information in chunks
-

Central Executive

-uses strategies like: directing attention, scheduling a dentist appointment, review a speech during a traffic jam, or completing an assignment by a deadline.

Rehearsal

the repetition of information that has entered short-term memory. As long as information in short-term memory is rehearsed, it is kept alive and is not lost. Rehearsal allows for the transfer of material into long-term memory.

Long-Term Memory

-the memory component in which information is stored on a relatively permanent basis.
-is like cataloging information so it can be retrieved later, like a new library book.
-has a limitless capacity to store information.
-the reason we might have trouble remembering something in our long-term memory is because of a retrieval problem.
-Retrieval cues and memory modules help us remember things stored in Long-term memory.

Retrieval cues

stimuli that permit people to recall information. Retrieval cues are like a library's catalog; they guide people to the location of a specific memory. Retrieval cues may take the form of a word, an image, a smell, or a sound.

Memory modules

represent different memory systems in the brain that help retrieve information that is stored in your long-term memory.
ex. how to fix my bike or car, tie shoes, your address.

Information Processing Theory vs. Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development

-Information processing- development is quantitative and happens gradually and continuously.
-Piaget's theory- development is qualitative and cognitive development happens in stages.

Attention

information processing involving the ability to strategically choose among and sort out different stimuli in the environment. As children grown older, their ability to control their attention increases.

Control (of attention)

-Control of attention increases with age - 5 - 6 yr old. children have an attention span of 5 - 7 minutes.
-Control what attending to- may focus on the teacher's pin instead of teacher's instructions.
-Children are able to exclude irrelevant or extraneous information.

Planning

the ability to allocate attentional resources on the basis of goals that one wishes to achieve. This ability develops throughout childhood and adolescence.
Ex. House Comparison

Infants (Early Memory)

Infants who had learned the association between a moving mobile and kicking showed surprising recall ability if they were exposed to a reminder of the early memory.

How long do memories last?

Researchers disagree on the age from which memories can be retrieved:
Early studies →infantile amnesia
Myers →clear evidence of early memories- 6 months
Physical trace of a memory in brain appears to be relatively permanent
Memories may not be easily, or accurately, retrieved-interference occurs.

Infantile Amnesia

the lack of memory for experiences that occurred prior to three years of age.

Autobiographical memory

-memory of events in one's own life that are largely inaccurate before age 8 - 24 months.
-Some suggest cannot retrieve memories before 3 yrs. Can remember routine occurrences - eating at McDonalds, favorite rides in park.
-Not all last into later life

Information Processing in Adolescence

gains during adolescence help to explain developmental differences in abstract,multidimensional and hypothetical thinking.
Processing information faster and with better strategies leads to growth in information processing.

Metamemory

Understanding and knowledge children and adults have about memory and memory processes - knowing how long you need to study to learn something.

Tool for building strategies, organizing content information, and more efficient learning

Memory in early adulthood

your memory abilities are at a peak.
There is only a decline in long-term memory at this stage of life.

Memory in middle adulthood

minor declines in memory. You tend to compensate for these declines in memory using different strategies.

Memory in late adulthood

more memory declines.

Encoding

the process by which information is initially recorded in a form usable to memory. Infants and children—indeed, all people—are exposed to a massive amount of information; if they tried to process it all, they would be overwhelmed. Consequently, they encode selectively, picking and choosing the information to which they will pay attention.
Even if someone has been exposed to the information initially and has encoded it in an appropriate way, there is still no guarantee that he or she will be able to use it in the future. Information must also have been stored in memory adequately.

Strategies for Remembering (using mneumonics)

Get organized
Pay attention
Use the encoding specificity phenomenon
Visualize
Rehearse

Code-based approach

-emphasizes teaching letters and sounds (phonics) as a basis for teaching reading.
-suggests that reading consists of processing the individual components of words, combining them into words, and then using the words to derive the meaning of written sentences and passages.
-Research has shown this method to be superior to whole-language approach to teaching reading.

Whole-language approach

children should learn to read through exposure to complete writing—sentences, stories, poems, lists, charts, and other examples of actual uses of writing. Instead of being taught to sound out words, children are encouraged to make guesses about the meaning of words based on the context in which they appear. Through such a trial-and-error approach, children come to learn whole words and phrases at a time, gradually becoming proficient readers.

Critical Thinking

thinking that makes use of cognitive skills and strategies that increase the likelihood of solving problems, forming inferences, and making decisions appropriately and successfully

Reading to children before age 2 is important because......

-Lays groundwork for enhanced language development
-Sets up self-reinforcing relationship between reading and language
-Is related to beneficial literacy outcomes, including comprehension, technical reading skills, spelling, and oral language skills
