Information Processing Blog Post 2

The information the student will be learning is about personal hygiene.

The input in this is the facts about personal hygiene and how to take care of your body. The understanding of what personal hygiene is and how it can be applied to everyone.

The sensory memory is looking at the surroundings when the teacher is trying to lecture. This pertains to the clothes that people in the class are wearing, peoples actions such as the fidgeting going on in the classroom, or the colors and pictures in the presentations.

The attention and pattern recognition come next which pertain to keeping the child focused. This includes using cues to let the child know when the class has started and when they really need to calm down and focus on the lesson on hand.

The next phase is working memory which deals with the actual recognition of information. This means that the students will begin to process information dealing with personal hygiene such as remembering facts about showering daily, when and how to brush teeth properly, etc.

Encoding and retrieval happens when the student starts to encode and remember the facts presented through words or imagery. Images dealing with personal hygiene will be shown to remind the student of what is proper hygiene thus allowing them to encode it and store it for future retrieval.

Long term memory happens when the student is able to recall this information in the long term so they can retrieve it again when it is needed.
