permanent knowledge base, is unlimited. In another approach, researchers have used computers to devise connectionist, or artificial neural network, models, which simulate the workings of neurons and their connections. Connectionists view the human cognitive system as a general processing device that gradually attains domain-specific competencies as relevant learning opportunities arise. Developmental models of information processing include Case’s neo-Piagetian perspective, which starts with Piaget’s

Finally, in relation to the seventh skill, reading and selecting main idea, current models of reading comprehension highlight the importance of considering the role of different cognitive processes during text comprehension (Meneghetti, et al., 2006). For example, memory both in its short- and long-term components is broadly considered to have a fundamental role.

able to portray his emotional status. The emotional status serves as a means of communication. There are several processes involved in facial recognition. Cognitive processes are the main process involved in facial recognition. The cognitive process helps in storage of information in long term memory and retrieval of information. The cognitive process helps in matching information using structural encoding processes and retrieval processes(Rakover &Cahlon, 2001). Encoding and retrieval processes

"harmonious and obsessive passion" and to further examine the effect of these types of job passion on work performance. By examining this effect, the authors want to justify that it is enhanced through the interaction of some mental elements called "cognitive engagement (comprising attention and absorption)" (p. 32). Their model therefore, is to create a cause and effect relationship between job passion and employee's work performance. However, finding a relationship would have been appropriate than a

was designed to test the hypotheses that social interaction is related to cognitive change, that children progress through developmental stages in an understanding of science. Two children were used for the investigation a boy aged eleven and a girl aged six. The data was collated from video-recorded tasks. The participant’s predictions and explanations were coded. Findings revealed that when the children experienced cognitive conflict or were challenged by the researcher this could cause conceptual

imagery is the brain’s way of processing information as if the individual is actually seeing it; whereas, verbal imagery is the processing of information as if the individual is saying or describing the information. Visual and verbal imagery can use cognitive maps to make sense of his or her environment. A careful analysis of visual and verbal imagery allows an individual to draw conclusions about which form of imagery is important to them. Types of Imagery Visual Imagery Visual imagery is activated
