Information Processing Theory (Explained in 3 Minutes)

Information processing theory compares the human mind to a computer, focusing on how people encode, store, and retrieve information. It describes cognitive development as a process of receiving input, processing it through various stages, and producing output or responses. This theory emphasizes attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving as key components. By understanding these processes, researchers can better understand how people learn, think, and remember.
