Consolidating Facts into the Schematized Learning and Memory System of Educable Retardates

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the schematized learning and memory system of educable retardates. A number studies have contributed to understanding how retardates perform at each stages in system. It appears that a major difference between equal-CA normals occurs retrieval stage results largely from retardates' inefficient organization input. If material is stored organized form, external and/or subjective cueing more likely result successful retrieval. The theoretical structure used this idealized trichotomized for simplicity into input, storage, organism attends stimulus, which enters central nervous (CNS), perseverates short time sensory register (SR) temporarily (short-term memory, STM) or permanently (long-term LTM). Once long-term stimulus can be retrieved some later may lost forever. In chapter, examples difficulties recognizing utilizing information-reducing aspects are discussed as evidence their general problem selectively scanning organizing
