Information Processing Theory
The information processing theory explains how humans receive, think, modify, and remember information. It came about in the early 1960’s and still evolves today. The human brain is much like a computer. After all, computers were designed by humans to do our calculations for us. The human brain accepts input through the 5 senses. This input goes into short-term memory (like what you type on your computer screen). Information is then transferred to long-term memory (like a disc, where information is periodically "saved" in a computer). Similar to a word processing program, if the information is pushed a...
