:
Overview of Information Processing Theory
Theoretical framework that focuses on how people perceive, organize, store, retrieve, and use information
Key concepts
Short-term memory: Temporary storage and manipulation of information
Cognitive load: Mental resources required for processing information
Retrieval: Accessing stored information for use
Sensory memory: Initial processing of sensory input
Encoding: Conversion of information into a usable format
Attention: Selective focus on relevant information
Long-term memory: Permanent storage of information
Models
Baddeley's working memory model
Atkinson and Shiffrin's three-stage model
Cognitive learning processes
Acquisition of knowledge and skills through mental processes
Attention, perception, and sensory processing
Memory formation and retrieval
Cognitive strategies and problem-solving
Metacognition and self-regulation
Behaviourism and social cognitive theory
Show how information is processed and constructed and how this affects learning and information seeking
Criticisms and Limitations of Information Processing Theory
Lack of consideration for emotions and social factors
Oversimplification of memory processes
Limited applicability to diverse populations
Simplified view of human cognition
Applications of Information Processing Theory
Education
Cognitive psychology
