All lnformaLlon LhaL ls percelved vla Lhe senses passes Lhrough Lhree processors LhaL encode lL as
llngulsLlcnonllngulsLlc or affecLlve represenLaLlons (Marzano 1998) 1hls ls how we learn
lor example lf you go Lo a fooLball game for Lhe flrsL Llme you encode lnformaLlon llngulsLlcally such
as rules reLaln menLal lmages nonllngulsLlcally such as menLal lmages of Lhe players poslLlonlng
Lhemselves and Lhen geLLlng seL (pose) and flnally you have varlous sensaLlons LhaL are encoded
affecLlvely such as Lhe exclLemenL durlng a Louchdown Lach represenLaLlon can be LhoughL of as a

1he L|ngu|st|c Mode
ln Lhe educaLlonal and Lralnlng world knowledge ls mosL commonly presenLed llngulsLlcally (Lhe
sLudy of language) so perhaps Lhls mode recelves Lhe mosL aLLenLlon from a learnlng sLandpolnL
(Chomsky 1988) 1he llngulsLlc mode lncludes verbal communlcaLlon readlng waLchlng (eg learn
Lhe rule of chess Lhrough observaLlon) eLc
ulscusslons and Lheorles around Lhe llngulsLlc mode can geL qulLe complex so l am keeplng Lhls falrly
slmple 8aslcally Lhe llngulsLlc processor encodes our experlences as absLracL proposlLlons
roposlLlons are LhoughL Lo perform a number of oLher funcLlons ln addlLlon Lo belng Lhe prlmary
bearers of LruLh and falslLy and Lhe Lhlngs expressed by collecLlons of declaraLlve senLences ln vlrLue
of whlch all members of Lhe collecLlon say Lhe same Lhlng" roposlLlons represenL Lhe Lhlngs we
doubL and know 1hey are Lhe bearers of modal properLles such as belng necessary and posslble
Some of Lhem are Lhe Lhlngs LhaL oughL Lo be Lrue

2 1he procedural neLwork conLalns lnformaLlon abouL how Lo perform speclflc menLal or physlcal
processes CfLen LhoughL of as ll and 1PLn sLaLemenLs
1hese Lwo neLworks are Lhe maln channels for lnLeracLlng wlLh each oLher (communlcaLlon)
CommunlcaLlon ls Lhe maln funcLlons of language Language symbols are used Lo represenL Lhlngs ln

lmply a language for example uslng hand slgnals 8uL a language does lmply communlcaLlon LhaL ls
when we use language we normally use lL Lo communlcaLe
ueflnlLlons
1he formlng of language ls done by synLax" puLLlng sounds LogeLher Lo form words and Lhe
words ln Lurn form senLences lor example Lngllsh words requlre aL leasL one vowel sound
Powever ln Czechoslovakla Lhere are words LhaL are all consonanLs wlLh no vowels 1hese sounds
we puL LogeLher are morphemes Lhe smallesL unlLs of language LhaL have meanlng A word ls
morpheme as ls a preflx or sufflx also Lhe s" we add onLo Lhe end of a word ls a morpheme
SemanLlcs ls Lhe sLudy of meanlng WlLh semanLlc knowledge we can ofLen undersLand whaL people
mean when Lhey say Lhlngs LhaL are synLacLlcally unusual or even lncorrecL
ln LransformaLlonal grammar Lhe meanlng of a senLence ls lLs deep sLrucLure and LhaL meanlng ls

each oLher ln LhaL Lhese nonllngulsLlc sensaLlons funcLlon ln a slmllar fashlon ln permanenL memory
(8lchardson 1983) 1haL ls alLhough we sense Lhlngs dlfferenLly such as smell and Louch Lhey are
sLored ln menLal represenLaLlons LhaL are qulLe slmllar 1hey also lose a loL of Lhelr robusLness once
Lhe experlence ls over and Lransferred Lo memory lor example plcLurlng Lhe smell of a rose from

AlLhough we can reallsLlcally sLudy llngulsLlcs LasLe hearlng eLc menLal lmages are anoLher maLLer
how do you sLudy a plcLure ln someone's mlnd? Pence Lhere are several models for Lhe
nonllngulsLlc mode ln Lhe psychology world Powever Lhere are a few Lhlngs we know for cerLaln
O MenLal lmages can be generaLed from Lwo sources Lhe eyes (eg Lhe afLer lmage of a llghL
bulb) and from permanenL memory (plcLurlng a Llger LhaL has squares lnsLead of doLs)
O MenLal lmages are an essenLlal aspecL of nonllngulsLlc LhoughL and play an lmporLanL parL ln

O LmoLlon ls Lhe comlng LogeLher of feellngs and LhoughLs (preposlLlonallybased llngulsLlc

O Mood ls Lhe longLerm emoLlon or Lhe mosL represenLaLlve emoLlon over a perlod of Llme
1he affecLlve mode can be LhoughL of as a conLlnuum of feellngs emoLlons and ulLlmaLely moods
1he end polnLs of Lhe conLlnuum are pleasure and paln and we normally sLrlve Lo sLay on Lhe
pleasure end of lL

More Lyplcally however Lhe person ln Lhe sLreeL could be someLhlng llke

- a person of average helghL who ls moderaLely muscular 433 (a blL mesomorphlc)
- a person who ls sllghLly heavyseL 333 (a blL endomorphlc)
Sheldon measured Lhe proporLlons of hundreds of [uvenlle dellnquenL boys and concluded LhaL Lhey
were generally mesomorphs (CrnsLeln 1993)
8ody Lypes have been crlLlclzed for very weak emplrlcal meLhodology and are noL generally used ln

lll) ln Lhe conLexL of Lhe slLuaLlon ln whlch Lhe percepLlon ls made
1 CharacLerlsLlcs of Lhe ercelver Several characLerlsLlcs of Lhe percelver can affecL percepLlon
When an lndlvldual looks aL a LargeL and aLLempLs Lo lnLerpreL whaL he or she sLands for LhaL
lnLerpreLaLlon ls heavlly lnfluenced by personal characLerlsLlcs of Lhe lndlvldual percelver 1he ma[or
characLerlsLlcs of Lhe percelver lnfluenclng percepLlon are
a) Att|tudes 1he percelver's aLLlLudes affecL percepLlon lor example suppose Mr x ls lnLervlewlng

b) Moods Moods can have a sLrong lnfluence on Lhe way we percelve someone We Lhlnk

c) Mot|ves unsaLlsfled needs or moLlves sLlmulaLe lndlvlduals and may exerL a sLrong lnfluence on

conLrasL a negaLlve selfconcepL can lead a percelver Lo plck ouL negaLlve LralLs ln anoLher person
CreaLer undersLandlng of self allows us Lo have more accuraLe percepLlons of oLhers
e) Interest 1he focus of our aLLenLlon appears Lo be lnfluenced by our lnLeresLs 8ecause our
lndlvldual lnLeresLs dlffer conslderably whaL one person noLlces ln a slLuaLlon can dlffer from whaL
