2. Gage’s Information Processing Model and its Implications to Instructional Design The Information Processing Model and its usefulness to instructional designers is discussed in this paper. To develop the best training design: learning strategies, learning outcomes and encoding meaningful information are important for the designer to consider http://chd.gse.gmu.edu/immersion/knowledgebase/strategies/cognitivism/informationprocessing model.htm Memory and Information Processing (Chapter 6) The way learners receive, store, integrate, retrieve, and use information is discussed. The act of recalling information facilitates higher order skills. Strategies are discussed for memory strengthening. http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/vockell/EdPsyBook/ Information Processing This link provides explanation of the information processing followed by a short quiz. Answers are also included. http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/vockell/EdPsyBook/Edpsy6/edpsy6_info.htm http://chd.gse.gmu.edu/immersion/knowledgebase/strategies/cognitivism/informationprocessing model.htm http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/vockell/EdPsyBook/ http://education.calumet.purdue.edu/vockell/EdPsyBook/Edpsy6/edpsy6_info.htm
