• Cognitive psychology sees the individual as a processor of information, in much the same way that
a computer takes in information and follows a program to produce an output.

• Cognitive psychology is also suggesting that it is possible and desirable to study the internal mental or meditational processes that lie between the stimuli (in our environment) and the response we make.

Basic Assumptions
Information made available by the environment is processed by a series of processing systems (e.g.
attention, perception, short-term memory);1.

Basic Assumptions
These processing systems transform or alter the information in systematic ways.2.

Basic Assumptions
The aim of research is to specify the processes and structures that
underlie cognitive performance;3.

Basic Assumptions
Information processing in humans resembles that in computers.4.

Essentially, a computer• codes (i.e. changes)
information,• stores information,• uses information, and• produces an output
(retrieves info).
The idea of information processing was adopted by cognitive psychologists as a model of how human thought works.

Hence the information processing
approach characterizes thinking as the environment providing input of data, which is then transformed by our senses. The information can be stored, retrieved and transformed using “mental programs”, with the results being behavioral responses.

Cognitive psychology has influenced and integrated with many other approaches and areas of study to produce, for example, social learning theory, cognitive neuropsychology and artificial intelligence (AI).

Information Processing

Psychologists are interested in what makes us attend to one thing rather than another (selective attention); why we sometimes switch our attention to something that was
previously unattended (e.g. Cocktail Party Syndrome), and how many things we can attend to at the same time (attentional
capacity/multitasking).

• Broadbent and others in the 1950's adopted a model of the brain as a limited capacity information processing system, through which external input is transmitted.
Information processing models consist of a series of stages, or boxes, which represent stages of processing. Arrows indicate the flow of
information.
* Input processes are concerned with the analysis of the stimuli.* Storage processes cover everything that happens to stimuli internally in the brain and can include coding and manipulation of the stimuli.* Output processes are responsible for preparing an appropriate response to a stimulus.
