COMPLETE SOLUTIONS!!
3 Stages of Information Processing Model correct answers 1. Stimulus ID: Extract important
sensory information.
2. Response selection: Translation and analyzation between stimulus and response.
3. Response programming: Prepare response and motor processes.
Operations of Information Processing Stages correct answers After receiving a stimulus, the
information processing stages start. The order is stimulus ID, Response selection, and
response programming. The three stages make up the reaction time.
Factors influencing information processing stages correct answers 1. Stimulus ID: Stimulus
characteristics and complexity
2. Response selection: S-R compatibility and complexity of decision making. (eg.number of
alternatives)
3. Response programming: Complexity of response (eg. timing)
Basic assumptions of Information Processing Model correct answers Mental Operation:
- Cognitive operation takes time, which is the reaction time
- Happens between stimulus and response.
Prototypical reaction time Paradigm correct answers 1. Warning signal
2. Stimulus
3. Simulus ID
4. Response selection
5.Response programming
6. Response start
7. Response end
Key Temporal Intervals in Reaction time paradigm correct answers 1. Between warning and
stimulus is foreperiod
2. Between stimulus and response start is reaction time
3. between response start and end is movement time
4. between stimulus and response end is response time
Fractionation of reaction time correct answers Fractionation of reaction splits reaction time
into two. The first section is the premotor time. The premotor time includes the 3 stages of
information processing. It is a cognitive process. The second section is the motor time. The
motor time is a neuromuscular or peripheral muscle process. It is starting to build contractile
activity to create movement.
spatial compatibility effect correct answers - Spatial position of the stimulus is directly
related to the response
- The degree of natural/ learned correspondence in the cognitive process between the stimulus
and response.
- Affects the Response selection stage.
- Ipsilateral mapping and contralateral mapping
