"The sequence of Information Processing (Slavin)"

There are three major components of Information Processing the; Sensory registers which receive the big amount of information from the senses and holds it for a very short time for initial processing for transfer to the short-term memory. The Short-term or Working memory which holds the limited amount of information paid attention to, organizes it for storage or for discarding and connecting to other information. And the Long-term memory which keeps information for long period of time and integrates it through rehearsal, elaboration and organization with information that is already known.

There are basic concepts in cognitive theories of Learning which are the Perception, Storage, Encoding, Procedural memory, Semantic memory, Episodic memory. Information processing theories is also applied in classroom teaching which gives us the idea on how we implement the teaching strategies.

Commulative Learning Theory According to Klausmeir, learning occurs as the individual develops higher level skills that build successively on lower skills. There are 7 types of Learning according to level of skills/capabilities the Signal learning, Stimulus-response Learning, Motor Chains/Verbal Chains Learning, Discriminating Learning, Problem Solving, Rule-Learning, Concept Learning This commulative learning theory is also applied in classroom teaching in order for us to determine the kind of learner we encounter.
