Pattern Recognition - a term that originated with computer science to describe how incoming raw data— a pattern— is matched to information in memory related to that stimulus Template Matching - -The incoming sensory information is compared directly to copies (templates) stored in the long term memory -Holistic matching of stimuli to the stored representation in memory Cognitive economy - -the short-cut for us to mobilize as less resource in mind as possible to solve the problem. I...
