Describe how the cognitive system deals with too much information and how the cognitive system deals with too little (i.e., ambiguous or uncertain) information. Consider three different domains/chapters. Describe relevant research in support of your answer. Identify general themes that hold across domains regarding how we deal with too much, and too little, information.
Support your answers with studies and examples. For most of the questions, I am NOT looking for your opinion.
Make sure you answer the question!!! If the question asks for an example, give that. If empirical support is requested, describe experimental results (and cite the study if possible). If it is not clear what is requested, assume that experimental results are desired (or clarify with me). Are existing theoretical positions requested or your own viewpoint? Does the question ask about what one model posits or about the true state of the world?
