Cognitive Information Processing: A Multidisciplinary Approach, Slides of Cognitive Development

The concept of cognitive information processing, which is the result of various influences including learning theory, computer science, and information theory. the transformation of sensory input into meaning through a series of actions, primarily in the brain, and introduces four major types of information processing theories: stage theory, depth of processing theory, parallel distributed processing theory, and connectionist models. Stage theory proposes three types of memory, while parallel distributed processing theory suggests simultaneous processing, and connectionist theory stores information in networks of connections.

Cognitive information

processing

A result of several influences

  • Especially:
    • Learning theory
      • S-R; S-O-R
    • Computer science/Information processing
      • Turing
      • Intelligent machines
    • Information theory
      • Shannon/Bell Labs

Four major types of info processing

theories

  • Stage theory
  • Depth of processing theory
  • Parallel distributed processing theory
  • Connectionist models

Stage theory

  • Argues for three major types of memory
    • Sensory memory
    • Short-term memory
    • Long-term memory

Parallel distributed processing

theory

  • Simultaneous processing by several different parts of memory system rather than sequentially

Connectionistic theory

  • Information is stored in multiple locations throughout the brain in the form of networks of connections
  • More connections to a single idea or concept, the more likely it is to be stored and retrieved
