Describe Welford’s model of information processing.
Welford’s model
(1968) includes: (i) sense organs (ii) perception (iii) short-term memory (iv)
long-term memory (v) decision making (vi) effector control (vii) feedback.
Welford's model suggests that we:
• Take in information through our senses and temporarily store all
of these inputs prior to sorting them out
• The inputs that are seen as relevant to the decision are then
stored in the short-term memory
• A decision is made by comparing the information in the short-term
memory with previous experiences stored in the long-term memory
• With reference to the long term memory for the required action the
decision is carried out
• The action and the results are stored for future reference
• The whole process then begins again
