  1. Information Stores • Repositories that hold information. • Sensory memory • Working memory • Long-term memory

  2. Cognitive Processes • Intellectual actions that transform the information and move it from one store to another. • Attention, perception, encoding and retrieval

  3. Metacognition • People’s awareness of and control over their cognitive processes. • Mechanism we use to monitor our learning

  4. Sensory Memory • The part of our cognitive system that briefly holds information until we attend to it.

  5. Working Memory • Conscious “thinking” part of our cognitive learning system (short term memory) • 10-20 seconds • 7 items

  6. Overcoming Limitations • Schemas • Interrelated networks of information constructed in working memory and recorded in long-term memory • Automaticity • Results from overloading a skill to the point that it can be performed with little conscious effort

  7. Cognitive Processes • Attention • consciously focusing on a stimulus • Perception • Attaching meaning to a stimulus • Encoding • Representing meaning in long-term memory

  8. Cognitive Processes • Meaningfulness • Number of connections or links between an idea and the other ideas in long-term memory • Retrieval • pulling information from long-term memory back to working memory

  9. Long-Term Memory • Our permanent information store
