Hi everyone,
Here is a wonderful video in multiple segments that describes in detail inofrmation processing. It discussed how we come to know and remember information. Please make sure you watch each segement in this sectionand take notes. The segments are typically between four to eight minutes in length. The topics in each segment can definately be applied in your lives right now to make you remember and recall information that you want to remember.

NOTE: Although verbiage may indicate a lesson is written at a higher cognitive level, one must also consider the rigor (cognitive demand) and engagement expected of students. Examples: Example 1: Students asked to create a list during a lesson would be demonstrating understanding at a Level 1, not a Level 4 as the verb create would indicate. A lesson written at a Level 4 would ask the students to create an original artifact that demonstrates higher order thinking skills. Example 2: Asking students to solve a problem would be a Level 2 sample of communicating understanding. Having students solve a problem, explain the sequence of steps and prove their solution would be a Level 3 sample of communicating understanding. Refer to the Descriptors and Questions for Webb Leveling guide for further details.
