VM200 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Representational State Transfer
Document Summary
In order to help you structure and memorize the essentials of the cognitive approach we discussed yesterday (thursday and monday), here"s a structured list of key-questions/issues: Two-way interaction subject - world: bottom-up and top-down (explain) Schemata and scripts (what are they?) help this two-way process: e. g. ignore redundant signs, complete incomplete ones, correct false ones. Previous experiences archived in memory - create expectations - condition future experience (e. g. busy airport - looking for check-in desk), selective attention narrow down (searchlight-like) what we perceive (the gorilla-experiment). We did not talk yet about how to apply this to media. We will later, but it does not hurt you to do the exercise already now yourselves. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me, during, before or after class.
