Which of the following is true about the process of read data, as described in the chapter? D. The CPU must first find the file in the file system before reading the data. 6. A user has opened a word processor, type the numbers 123456789, and stored the document as a file called report 1. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report?
a. The CPU tells the RAM which address holds the data that the CPU wants to read. 6. A user has opened a word processor, typed the numbers 123456789, and stored the document as a file called report1. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report?
Which of the following answers best describes how a hard disk drive physically writes a binary 0 or 1?C. changing the disk’s surface 12. Which of the following answers are true about an internal hard disk drive (HDD) as it is normally used inside a personal computer (choose 2) B. used for long-term memory, D. connects to the CPU over a bus using a cable
8) U.S.B. - (Universal Serial Bus) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication, and power supply between computers and electronic devices. 9) H.D.D.-(Hard disk drive) is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks coated with magnetic material. HDD retains its data even when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than
Throughout the centuries Philosophers and Scientists have argued over the idea of computers having a mind or a “consciousness,” can a computer or a machine truly grasp the meaning of what it knows or is that particular computer only going off what is programmed within it’s hard drive? In some aspect we can compare the mind to that of a hard drive of a machine. The brain is merely a tissue that is activated by physical processes, which we know as intelligence and emotion. The same goes for a computer, its main component or “brain” is ran by multiple processes reacting to a specific situation leading to a particular outcome. However, can a machine react in such a way to have emotion, perceive and understand like that of a human mind and have a consciousness?
This is not explained in the model of Atkinson and Shiffrin. Also it suggests we have to rehearse everything for it to be stored in long term memory when in real life we do not rehearse everything in order for it to be remembered. This means this could only apply to experimental conditions. Furthermore it is oversimplistic as it doesn’t describe in detail and we know that there are more long term memory stores than just the one. However, they were the first people to attempt to make a model of the brain and they have shown a
It was stated at the beginning of the chapter that thousands of years ago, there was an operating system called Motivation 1.0 that was based on the human need to survive, to hunt and gather. That operating system worked well until it didn’t anymore, which led to the new and current operating system, Motivation 2.0. Chapter one went on to describe that this motivation system has some serious flaws and old, rigid assumptions. My question is: why isn’t a new operating system, maybe Motivation 3.0, formed to support existing beliefs and new technologies that we as a society have? I don’t believe that author overlooked anything in this chapter, but I still pose the question of why haven’t we moved on to a new and better operating
How does the past experience get into our memory in the first place? Atkinson and shiffrin (1968) were some of the first psychologists to attempt to answer this question with their multi – store model of memory. They suggested that memory is made up of a series of stores. The multi store model (Atkinson and shiffrin 1968) describes memory as information flowing through a system. Where the information is detected initially by the senses and then enters the sensory memory.
Memory plays such a wide-ranging role in our lives that we are inclined to take it for granted until an incident of forgetting or some other malfunction. Memory stores possibly unlimited amounts of information - everything we have learned, skills, experiences and knowledge. Without memory it could be said that there can be no mind. This essay aims to explore and evaluate some of the factors which influence the way memories are constructed and reconstructed and look
Evaluate two models of memory with reference to research studies (22 marks) The following essay aims to make an appraisal of two models of memory whilst weighing up the strengths and limitations of each. Memory is defined to be the mental process of encoding, storing and retrieving information. Memory undergoes a series of stages in order to store its information. First the encoding process: incoming information is organized and transformed so it can be entered into memory. Secondly storage process: involves entering and maintaining information in memory for a period of time and last of all retrieval process: involves recovering stored information from memory so it can be used.
