When computers were the size of living rooms, paper cards were punched with holes. Each card carried a very limited amount of information. Stacks and stacks of cards were needed to added a few number together or generate a sales report.
Although computer encoding has changed a lot, human encoding remains the same. In order to process information we must input it and, eventually, decode (retrieve it). Here”s how it works.
Here are 5 things we’ll cover:
- Metacognition
- Encoding
- Distinctiveness
