Working memory System that processes inputs and determines
whether or not they are important, encoding
them for long-term or short-term memory storage
Pattern recognition Cognitive process that matches information from
external sources to information that is stored in
long-term memory.
Template matching Every object and experience is processed by
brain and stored as a template in long-term
memory. When presented with situation, long-
term memory is searched for matching template
from the past.
Prototype matching When presented with situation, long-term
memory is searched for AVERAGE or similiar
templates reffered as a "prototype". More flexible
then template matching and better for working
with incomplete information.
Top Down Using previous knowledge (could be contextual)
to fill in gaps when we do not have complete
information.
System I thinking Intiutive thinking, fast, effective, often accurate
but prone to errors. Draws on available
knowledge and experience and existing mental
modes.
System II thinking "Analyttical thinking". slow, methodical and
conscious. Involves analytic processes like
scientific method or structured analytical
techniques.
Mental Models System I thinking.
Experience base asumptions and expectations
of the way the world operates
Structured Analytical Almost al include Decomposition (breaking
Techniques problem into components) and Visualization
(capturing parts of problem in organized/visual
