I MPORTANT P ROCESS OF D EVELOPMENT T HEORY Christina Basso
Craik and Lockhart Published their research in 1972 Believed the memory model for memory was a duel storage model Short-Term Memory (STM) was fragile, volatile memory which traces in a short term storage location Long-Term Memory (LTM) durable moemory stored in different location
Theory Memory storage and retrieval of information Labeled as “stage theory” Focus of this model is how information is stored in memory the model proposes that information is processed at stored in 3 stages
Information Processing Focuses on the mind and how it works to explain how learning occurs Focuses on the individual rather than the social aspects of thinking and learning Relatively fixed body of knowledge and how it is attended to received in the mind processed stored and retrieved from memory
Application
Stage Model of Information Processing
Sensory Memory (STSS) Change from one energy from another The body has special sensory receptor cells that transduce this external energy to be processed by the brain Memory is.5 seconds for vision, 3 seconds for hearing
Short-Term Memory (STM) Working memory Relates to what we are thinking about at any given moment in time Points out important information Two major concepts for retaining information are organization and repetition
Long-Term Memory (LTM) The ability to recall information from several minutes and hours ago
Extra Credit: Teacher Philosophies in this Theory Behaviorism and Constructivism Behaviorism by definition is learners will acquire and remember responses that lead to satisfying after effects. Repetition of meaningful connection results in learning, not only for Special Education students but for regular education as well. Constructivism by definition the belief that learners will construct their own understanding of the material using outside sources to reflect on the information.
