To acquire information, we must control what comes in and what is blocked out from the environment. Material that we retain is first sent through a short-term memory where it is processed and then moved to a permanent storage area where physical changes occur in the nerve cells.
Your Assignment:
1.) List and describe 3 different influences on acquiring information.
2.) Out of these 3 different influences, which has the strongest effect on you. (Be as specific as possible bringing up examples from your attempts at acquiring information.)
