ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I will highlight several characteristics of my own theoretical approach that distinguish it from the other approaches. Table 2.1 presents a summary of the information in this chapter and beyond by listing assumptions and themes important for the present, embedded-process theoretical framework for information processing. For each assumption, a source is offered to establish the “vintage” of the assumption. This will help to show not only where I stand on various issues, but also how my approach has evolved.
