What is information processing?

Information Processing Perspectives For many years, researchers have considered the brain to be a very large map as a special map that contains code vision, auditory events of others, and still others code, ego, and memory storage.  His research goal was to discover the local configuration of the brain and to see how the brain works.Today, researchers know that the brain is not so simple.

In the 1960's and 1970's, when the information age was still young, researchers began connecting the brain to a computer with complex interconnected and predictive abilities.  He compared memory in humans to computer-based information processing, similar to the basic computer process of encoding, storage and retrieval.  In fact, all three processes are used as the basis for the discussion of memory in most of this chapter.

We will take a closer look at them in the next section.  The human brain, of course, is not a computer.  Nor do they work like computers do.  They make mistakes, and they are affected by biological, environmental, and interpersonal events.

However, for psychologists, there are considerable similarities between the brain and computers that can discuss learning and memory in terms of information processing. Information processing in a computer is the process of organizing, interpreting, and responding to information.  Apparently, human beings, the acquisition of information means how the environmental stimulus is acted upon in order to gain meaning.  

The information processing approach analyzes the steps or sequence of steps through which this process takes place (Masaro and Cowan, 1993).

The information processing approach generally describes three stages: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.  This approach assumes that the phases are separate, although related, and that the catch can be analyzed through scientific articles.  Sensory memory, sometimes called sensory registers, is the process by which information enters the brain when you input data while processing word on a computer. 

When you listen to a rock band or touch a piece of silk, you want to stop the process of sensory memory by centering the information.  By centralizing information, it is stored in short-term memory for a short period of time, just as a computer puts your work into temporary random access memory.  And if you run out of power before you can store information, you lose it.

 Similarly, if you look at a family tune but do not act on it properly, you quickly lose its meaning.  The process of storing short-term memory is critical.This requires repetition, further encoding, and the transfer of information to the final storage location.  In a computer, information is stored for a long time on a floppy or hard disk.  

In the brain, information is stored in long-term mindfulness, allowing the person to recall, retrieve and recreate past experiences.

What is information processing?

Three main processes: 

Encoding, storage, and retrieval Practically every model of memory has been offered, rejected, or modified, the researchers agree that testing three basic processes  Must Check: Encoding, Storage, and Recovery.

(see Figure 6.1 on page 196.)

Like the stages of sensory, short-term, and long-term memory, these processes are organizational themes around which many psychologists focus on their theories.  The names of these processes are also derived from information technology and if you know how computers work you will know.  To a certain extent, the term encoding means to obtain information in the system in question.  In the psychology of memory, encoding takes place

Information so that the nervous system can process it, just as a computer programmer generates code to communicate with a computer.  The source can be visual or auditory and may include taste, touch, temperature, or other sensitive information. Converting an experiment into electrochemical energy is the first step in establishing encoding and memory. Sometimes encoding is automatic.  Other times it is attempted and requires concentration.  Early in their development, people usually have to focus on encoding information.  With practice, such efforts happen automatically.  

For young children, for example, reading requires easy encoding. In older children and adults, reading happens automatically.  Storage is the process of retaining or keeping memory. Storage can be for a few seconds (short term) or for many years (long term).  Recovery is the process by which information stored in memory is retrieved.  Retrieving your Social Security number, memorizing phone call details, and compiling a list of Disney names for the seven dwarves is a recovery task.

Memory Each of the three phases of sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory focuses differently on encoding, storage, and retrieval facilities. Sensory memory provides some quick, fast temporary storage and retrieval.  However, its main focus is on the early encoding of information late.  

Short-term memory provides up to 30 seconds of encoding and temporary storage, with the main focus being on the initial process, especially storage.  Long-term memory stores lifelong information.
