Cognitive Studies

  Cognitive Studies   The information processing model is a theory of how the brain processes information. “This model can add to our knowledge base by helping us understand the roles that specific brain structures play in the complex acts of receiving, processing, storing and retrieving information” (Wolfe, 2010, p. 106). This model has many implications for teaching, and understanding how individuals learn and retain new information. ou are a classroom teacher incorporating the information processing model into your new and improved lesson plan. Create a lesson plan that focuses on teaching a topic within one subject: math, reading, the arts, social studies, science, etc. Your lesson plan should include the following components at a similar level of detail as found in the example lesson plan above: Grade Level Lesson Objective Suggested Time Resources Materials Lesson Check for understanding In your lesson plan, you are to create comments (like the comment boxes in the example) that highlight and explain the information processing principles/techniques being used. You should use the Huitt (2003) article to help you select and apply the specific principles.
