#9 External or Control Processor

Where do we put the external or control processor on the diagram of the information processing theory?

Hi.

If you think about the diagram in the book, the control processor or executive processor is usually set above short term memory with arrows running back and forth from attention, short-term memory, and long-term memory. However, because I did not show you this (we ran out of time), I will not expect you to know where to put it on the diagram for the exam. I do expect you to know what the role of the control processor or executive processor is in the model. That is in the book near the end of the chapter.
