Discussion
According to Sternberg's theory, which of the following are associated with "performance component" of the cognitive processes ?
1. Perceptual processing
2. Retrieval from long term memory
3. Storage of information in memory
4. Problem solving skills
5. Formulation of strategies for problem solving
Answer: A
The performance components in Sternberg's theory are perceptual processing and retrieval from long term memory (1 and 2).
Performance components carry out the steps of the task, such as encoding what is seen and retrieving what is needed from memory.
Formulating strategies is the work of metacomponents, which plan and control processing. Storage of information in memory is linked with knowledge-acquisition, and problem solving skills are the broad outcome and not a single performance component. So the options with 3, 4 or 5 are rejected.
