Information Processing Module 10  A cognitive theoretical framework that focuses on how knowledge enters and is stored in and is retrieved from our memory. It is one of the most significant cognitive theories in the last century and it has strong implications on the teaching Information learning process.

Certain factors would also determine whether the information will be retrieved or “remembered” when the learner needs it.  Informa Types of tion Process Knowledge ing Theory  Types of Informat ion Processi Knowledge ng Theor General vs. Specific Knowledge is useful in many tasks, or only in one.
