6. The Concept of Information
Processing Theory
Section 1

7. The Concept of Information Processing Theory
• The idea of Information
Processing lies within
Cognitive Psychology and
as a theory combines
multiple theoretical
perspectives that mainly
seek to explain human
learning as the
development of
networked memory
structures.
• Throughout much of the
1950s psychologists
involved in the
Information Processing
movement began to view
the brain as a neural
computer that processes
information with
extraordinary efficiency
and excellent
performance in problem
solving and critical
thinking.

8. The 3 Main Functions of
Information Processing Theory
Section 2

9. The 3 Main Functions of Information Processing Theory
1. Sensory memory
Helps people screen incoming information.
2. Working memory
Helps people manage and store larger chunks of
information, and perform visual-spatial mental
operations.
3. Long-term memory
Serves as a permanent repository of information that
can be accessed at a later time, enabling humans to
continually build upon their knowledge base.

10. The 3 Principles of Information
Processing Theory
Section 3

11. The 3 Principles of Information Processing Theory
1. The information provided by our environment is
constantly processed by a complex series of
systems.
2. The processing systems modify the information
we gather in “systematic” ways.
3. The primary goal of research tasks that delve
into information processing is to determine
which processes and brain structures are behind
cognitive performance.
