outline principles of the cloa. (8)
explain how these principles may be demonstrated in research. (8)
Principle 1:
Humans are information processors. We... -Process information -Perceive then comprehend events around us -Based on prior knowledge Multi-store Model of Memory (Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968) People... Computers... Take in information from the surroundings Get information input Store information Save information in files Can process information at any time Can process the stored files easily Then retrieve it and apply to tasks Can retrieve it for application uses We are not so different from computers after all (in CLOA). For humans, information... -Flows in from environmental input -Turns to short-term memory when given attention (said to have 7±2 capacity. (Miller, 1956)) -After rehearsal, turns into long-term memory -Long-term memory can be retrieved then on So... research. Conducted by: Peterson and Peterson (1959) Aim: Investigate on the duration of STM What happened: Gave participants constant triplets Asked participants to recall Recall while counting three numbers backwards (prevent rehearsal) What was found: After 18 seconds, recall fell to lower than 10% STM is limited when rehearsal is hindered (can't focus on only letters) |
Principle 2:
Mental processes can be scientifically investigated through laboratory experiments.
We...
-Process information
-Perceive then comprehend what's happening around us
-Based on prior knowledge
Schema Theory
Basically, schemas are...
-Mental editions of knowledge
-Categorised by concepts in memory
-Guidelines to interpret information when trying to understand stuffs
Schemas then...
-Create expectations as to what should happen in situations
-Explain memory reconstruction and why stereotypes happen
What does it have to do with researches?
I mean, Bartlett (1932) conducted a research on that...
But we'll cover that later. If you really want to write a research about this principle...
Maybe pick another one or read on. Why not?
