|
6. Characteristics of the New Concept |
| Information
must be entered
into the file
before it can be
saved |
> |
Information
must be
entered
correctly |
< |
Information must be processed
correctly before it will enter into our
short-term memory i.e. hear it, see it,
feel it, smell it before it can be saved |
| Have to give
the file a name
that makes
sense |
> |
Need
something to
trigger our
memory to
find the
information |
< |
Need some way to help
remember the information i.e.
through associations, mnemonics
etc. |
| Saving to a disk
can only hold a
certain amount
of information |
> |
Limited
capacity when
saving
information |
< |
Our short-term memory can only
hold a small amount of
information before it goes into
our long-term memory |
| Have to
organize the
files into folders
if you have a lot
of files |
> |
Information
must be
organized to
easily retrieve
it |
< |
To retrieve information from our
long-term memory we must have
stored it in an organized way |
| 7. State Understanding
An analogy can be drawn between the computer filing system and the human memory system - in
both systems the information must be processed correctly in order to save it because in order to
retrieve information from both systems it must be saved using a device that will trigger our
memory as to what information has been saved and the information in both the computer file and
in our long term memory must be organized so it can be retrieved easily. |
