Debra S. Osborn; Seth C. W. Hayden; James P. Sampson; V. Casey Dozier; Justin Hultman; Erin Bennett – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2024
Cognitive information processing theory was born in response to a realisation the traditional method of individual, one hour counselling appointments prevented many college students from receiving needed support for their career decision making. Frustrated by this lack of access to career services, researchers, theorists and practitioners came…

Dean, Kathy Lund; Fornaciari, Charles J. – Journal of Management Education, 2014
Over a five-year period, we made a persistent observation: Course structures and routines, such as assignment parameters, student group process rules, and grading schemes were being consistently ignored. As a result, we got distracted by correcting these structural issues and were spending less time on student assignment performance. In this…

Stiller, Klaus D.; Petzold, Kirstin; Zinnbauer, Peter – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
The superiority of learner-paced over system-paced instructions was demonstrated in multiple experiments. In these experiments, the system-paced presentations were highly speeded, causing cognitive overload, while the learner-paced instructions allowed adjustments of the presentational flow to the learner's needs by pacing facilities, mostly…

Pohl, Carsten; Kiesel, Andrea; Kunde, Wilfried; Hoffmann, Joachim – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
In four experiments, we investigated whether masked stimuli in priming experiments are subjected to early or to late selection. In Experiment 1, participants classified four target-pictures as being small or large. In line with early selection accounts, prime-pictures with a different perceptual appearance as the experienced targets did not elicit…

Cloven, Denise Haunani; Roloff, Michael E. – Communication Reports, 1995
Argues that anticipating communication has cognitive tuning effects such that individuals think descriptively and entertain a greater variety of thoughts when they anticipate receiving information, but think valuatively and avoid information searches when they perceive they will primarily convey rather than receive information in a forthcoming…

Penningroth, Suzanna L.; Rosenberg, Sheldon – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1995
Examined how information-processing load affects the writing process by having 40 undergraduates write a short essay up to a supplied ending sentence with increasing content constraints. Results found that a high information-processing load led to lower-rated story coherence, but not to lower- rated quality. (36 references) (MDM)

Thorson, Esther; And Others – Communication Research: An International Quarterly, 1985
Viewing television requires mental effort. Among the findings in this study, results indicated that more mental effort was required to process simple video and auditory information than complex information because the cognitive system is activated to a higher degree by complex messages and thus processes information more efficiently.

Meyer, David E.; And Others – Psychological Review, 1988
Theoretical/empirical foundations on which reaction times are measured and interpreted are discussed. Models of human information processing are reviewed. A hybrid procedure and analytical framework are introduced, using a speed-accuracy decomposition technique to analyze the intermediate products of rapid mental processes. Results invalidate many…

Britton, Bruce K. – Journal of Reading Behavior, 1980
Reports on two experiments concerned with the use of the limited capacity cognitive processing system in a later stage of reading: the processes associated with processing information and knowledge from text for retention. (HOD)
