...discussing the summary of the interrelationships among the components and explaining the need to move information through the model. Explaining how the child processes information and how it changes with age. Information processing theory is the theoretical perspective that focuses on the specific ways in which people mentally thinks about (“process”) the information they receive. People process information in different ways; sensation, perception, sensory registers, working memory, and long-term memory. Sensation is the physiological detection of stimuli in the environment. Perception is the cognitive interpretation of stimuli that the body has sensed. Sensory register is the component of memory that holds incoming information in an unanalyzed form for a very brief time; this is two to three seconds or less. Working memory is the component of memory that enables people to actively think about and process a small amount of information. Long-term memory is the component of memory that holds knowledge and skills for a relatively long period of time. Sensory register information processing is believe that human memory includes a Sensation information processing is through environmental the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This is the first process continued by the second part, interpreting those stimuli for perception mechanism that allows people to remember a very short period of time only perhaps two to three seconds of information. Working memory is where most...

...Chapter 1 The Dimensions of Psychology Summary: Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors. Psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and by many accounts it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist, and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors. Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection. Wilhelm Wundt, founder of the first psychology lab, was an advocate of this position and is often considered the founder of structuralism, despite the fact that it was his student, Edward B. Titchener who first coined the term to describe this school of thought. Functionalism formed as a reaction to the structuralism and was heavily influenced by the work of William James and the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Functionalists sought to explain the mental processes in a more systematic and accurate...

...interesting and complex pictures to perceive (a true example of information processing). (You should have done the Common Sense demo and determined your MBTI four letters before you view this slide presentation.) Slide 2 Text: According to Wickens, 1984, information processing begins when a stimuli hits one or many of our five senses. Once that stimuli is sensed, our long-term memory determines if this stimuli is something experienced before (like the smell of a lemon) or is a new sensation. If it is a new sensation, then it is put into short term memory (often referred to as working memory) until a decision and response is selected (is this a good or bad sensation). Once a response is made (that is very cold or hot!), we receive feedback from our senses on whether the initial response was correct or another decision or response is required based on the feedback from our first decision. Let’s use as an example, looking at someone showing their hand with the fingers in a fist and the thumb pointing up. Most of us would interpret that signal as an “alright or good deal” signal. However, in Australia a thumbs up motion means “Up yours” and in Germany it means “the number one” and in Japan it means “the number five” and in Saudi Arabia it means “I’m winning” and finally in Malaysia it means “the way you point instead of using the finger”. Now that your memory is aware of the different ways of perceiving something you see, your response will be different based on the feedback...

...development. Kermit and the Keyboard from a Cognitivist Perspective Cognitive Information Processing, Piagetian Theory, and Interactional Theories of Cognitive Development explored the principles associated with human cognitive development in relationship to learning. Driscoll points out that these theories Cognitive Information Processing, Piagetian Theory, and Interactional Theories of Cognitive Development “have common focuses on interaction between children’s native capabilities and their environment to explain development”(2005). However, they represent divergent views when it comes to explaining why. These similarities and differences are evident in their perspectives on Kermit and the Keyboard as well. Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) Information processing approach focuses on the study of the structure and function of mental processing. Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) is based on the work of Atkinson and Shriffin and proposes that information is processed and stored in three stages; Sensory memory, Short term memory, and Long-term memory (Schraw & McCrudden, (2013). The CIP perspective on Kermit and the Keyboard focuses first on the input, in this situation this is the printed page. It then evaluates how the information is processed through the recognition of symbols. Kermits attention to these details help move...

...according to transaction that access the attribute are group of attribute. The vertical partition is defined in three context memory level a centralized database and the most important is distributed database like placed data in different sites. In this paper we focus on distributed database. in which local transaction should be minimize. In this paper we use two phases the first approach is that we have no first knowledge and second is cost optimization. Fragmented may be no overlapping or overlapping. Summary Partitioning in database design is the process of assign object from the logical schema to the physical several objects. Vertical partition is the process of divide attribute into group (fragments) and assign to physical object. In vertical fragmentation we make maximum and all minimum possible fragments it mean that fragment may be overlap or non-overlap. So we make cluster of fragments that one overlap or no overlap but we use the both disjoint and no disjoint cases in partitioning. We use fragmentation to improve the performance of query optimization .according to distribution point of view the different approach is like hierarchy of memory partition. In this approach we used vertical partitioning in that way the attribute that are mostly accessed are placed inthat way the attributes that are highly access are placed in the fastest memory level.in the distribution environment we also use normally fragmentation but replica is also used . in the vertical fragmentation...

...THE EFFECT OF SELECTIVE ATTENTION ON THE ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE NIGERIAN STUDENT BY GODWIN EIGBE A PAPER PRESENTED AT THE INSTITUTE OF OPENCAST MINING AND TECHNOLOGY BENIN CITY 23RD AUGUST, 2013 Introduction The poor performance of Nigerian students in both internal and external examinations have been decried in many quarters across the country and many have blamed the society, the schools and parents for their role in the deteriorating level of academic performances. Not many have questioned the role of the students themselves in the dilemma that has befallen them. The search for a permanent cure to this menace has been on for decades. However with every new dawn the case seems to go worse. There are many who blame the poor economy as a result of high level corruption being perpetrated in government and political circles. Others believe that the school system is failing and is not doing enough to ensure that students get the maximum attention necessary for excellence. And there are others who believe that neglect on the part of parents is responsible for poor performances in schools. However true these factors are, no independent factor can be singled out to be more responsible for the problem of poor performance by students in schools. More recently, many researchers have identified lack of seriousness, laziness which leads to procrastination and corruption and examination malpractices in schools...

...MEMORY: REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS TO EDUCATION INTRODUCTION: Memory is generally defined as the processes of encoding, storing and retrieving information. These three processes interact with different memory systems. The memory systems that appear to be most important in the educational area are short-term memory, working memory and long-term memory. Memory is thought to begin with the encoding or converting of information into a form that can be stored by the brain. This encoding process is also referred to as registering information in memory. The memory systems that are involved in the encoding or registration of information in memory are sensory memory and short-term memory. Sensory Memory Information which first comes to us through our senses is stored for a very short period of time within the sensory register. Simply put, the sensory register is associated with our five senses – seeing (visual), hearing (auditory), doing (kinesthetic), feeling (tactile) and smelling (olfactory). However, the sensory buffers that have received the most attention in the research literature are the visual and auditory sensory registers. Generally information remains in our visual memory for a very short time, approximately several hundred milliseconds. This information or "image" is somewhat like an exact replica of what we have just seen, and it fades with the passage of time (Pashler and Carrier, 1996). Short-term Memory Most of the information that enters...

...INTRODUCTION Fundamental Notions THE "PHILOSOPHY OF KNOWLEDGE" is that branch of philosophy which tries to determine in a general way what the nature and scope of man's capacity to know are. Precisely what this determi-nation will turn out to be cannot be foreseen at the beginning of our investigation since the very reason for undertaking such a project is to find that out in a methodical and systematic way. Nonetheless, even at this point, we do have a vague sense of what we are after, and, presumably, we have had enough experi-ence of our ignorance and capacity for error to motivate us to take up this arduous task. Our common-sense notion of nature tells us that an investigation into the "nature" of anything means at least that we are ask-ing "what sort of thing is it?" To be sure, this question is none too precise, but it will do for a beginning. Again, our common-sense notion of "scope" tells us that an inquiry into the "scope" of any-thing means at least that we are asking "how far does it extend?" Again, this imprecise query will do for the moment. Notice that we are not asking whether we know anything at all. The reason is, as we shall see in detail later that this question cannot be asked at all, because to have asked it is to have answered it affirmatively. The real issue in any philosophical discussion of human knowing is to determine what is meant by 'knowing" and what general conditions must be fulfilled before one can legitimately make a claim "to know." Plato tried...

...Discuss the role of pictures in the learning of speech or language skills among learners with a disability of your choice. What do you see as a limitation in the use of pictures in the learning of speech or language skills among learners in the classroom. Pictures and/or visual aid are and an important and commonly used method or technique used in the teaching of learners with communication disabilities especisally in the subgroup of speech and language skills. Most children with special educational needs tend to experiance difficulties and/or delays in the acquisition of these skills.One such group of learners with special educational needs affected are the individuals with Autism spectrum disorder. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder which is characterized by impairments in communication and social interaction, and restricted, repetitive and stereotypic patterns of behaviour, interests, and activities (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 1994). It is a complex neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain. Often referred to as a spectrum disorder,meaning that the symptoms can be present in a variety of combinations, and can range from mild to severe, it usually affects multiple abilities while others remain in the norm (Bristol et al., 1996; Minshew, Sheeney, and Bauman, 1997) Expanding the communication skills of students with autism spectrum disorders is one of the greatest challenges for teachers and families. Most people are unaware of...
