	Information processing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As such, it is a process which describes everything which happens (changes) in the universe, from the falling of a rock (a change in position) to the printing of a text file from a digital computer system.
		Information processing can more specifically be defined in terms by Claude E. Shannon as the conversion of latent information into manifest information.
		The information processing approach in psychology is closely allied to cognitivism in psychology and functionalism in philosophy although the terms are not quite synonymous.

	Educational Psychology Interactive: The Information Processing Approach
		In this theory, information is thought to be processed in a serial, discontinuous manner as it moves from one stage to the next.
		The parallel-distributed processing model states that information is processed simultaneously by several different parts of the memory system, rather than sequentially as hypothesized by Atkinson-Shiffrin as well as Craik and Lockhart.
		The two processes most likely to move information into long-term memory are elaboration and distributed practice (referred to as periodic review in the direct instruction model).

	edf7232a - Information Processing Theory
		"Information processing is one area of research within the larger domain of cognitive psychology." Research in information processing attempts to explain the ways in which "individuals perceive, organize, and remember information related to" the "processing of data from the environment."
		The "five main points" (mental processes, speed and accuracy, strategies for task performance, forms of mental representation, and organization of kownledge base) of information processing theory research is discussed.
		Summary: Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) is not associated with the work of a single theorist; rather, it builds on the work of a number of researchers who share a common paradigm.

	Cognitive Information Processing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Information Processing Theory approach learning primarily through the study of memory and how to retrieve that memory.
		It is critical that the learner concentrates to the information at this stage and further stages in order for information to move on to the next.
		Information Processing Theory suggest the importance of feedback and the necessity of making mistakes so that the learner develops problem solving strategies.

		Information is translated into some meaningful form (encoded) and retrieved through a process of identification and recall for a particular purpose.
		From the information processing viewpoint, people are active learners who can control and manipulate information and devise strategies to deal with particular situations, for example, thinking aloud when completing a complex task.
		The information processing perspective is linked with the development of computers and improved knowledge of the functions and processes of the nervous system.

	Data entry and information processing workers
		Data entry and information processing workers held about 633,000 jobs in 2002 and were employed in every sector of the economy; 392,000 were data entry keyers and 241,000 were word processors and typists.
		It is common for data entry and information processing workers to transfer to other administrative jobs, such as secretary, administrative assistant, or statistical clerk or to be promoted to a supervisory job in a word processing or data entry center.
		Data entry and information processing worker also must be comfortable working with office automation, and in this regard they are similar to court reporters, medical records and health information technicians, secretaries and administrative assistants, and computer operators.

	Information Processing Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Information Processing Language (IPL) was a programming language developed by Allen Newell, Cliff Shaw and Herbert Simon at RAND Corporation and the Carnegie Institute of Technology from about 1956.
		It included features intended to support programs that could perform general problem solving, including lists, associations, schemas (frames), dynamic memory allocation, data types, recursion, associative retrieval, functions as arguments, generators (streams), and cooperative multitasking.

	Langston, Cognitive Psychology, Notes 1
		Many manifestations: Information comes from the environment, is stored briefly, some is selected for additional processing, something is done to it, it may result in some additional behavior.
		Information processing roots: Communication theory has to do with transmitting a signal (information) along a channel to a receiver.
		Information is transmitted along a channel, received, and processed.

		However, knowing that this model is a cognitive processing model and knowing that the model is based on an explicit metaphor with a computer is helpful in understanding IP theory.
		The process of elaboration occurs when information is retrieved from the LTM in order to link to the new information.
		Failure to remember information does not mean that it has been forgotten; it is merely the procedure for retrieval has been forgotten.

	Information Processing
		Processing information means taking raw information and making it more useful by putting it into context.
		Labeling information during the collection phase is critical if one is to avoid information overload.
		Making use of your information means being able to view it in the context of a current activity.

		Information processing theorists approach learning primarily through a study of memory.
		Information processing theory has become a general theory of human cognition; the phenomenon of chunking has been generally verified for all levels of cognitive processing.
		Information processing approaches to learning find expression in other cognitive theories of learning, but in general they can be applied to instruction by following these guidelines:

	TIP: Theories
		George A. Miller has provided two theoretical ideas that are fundamental to cognitive psychology and the information processing framework.
		Miller (1956) presented the idea that short-term memory could only hold 5-9 chunks of information (seven plus or minus two) where a chunk is any meaningful unit.
		Information processing theory has become a general theory of human cognition; the phenomenon of chunking has been verified at all levels of cognitive processing.

	Biases Affecting Information Processing
		The problem is that the unavailable information, or the information that is harder to get, may actually be the more reliable or the more definitive for use in making good decisions.
		Similarly, information arriving in the middle of a project may be unfairly discounted or ignored, simply because of its position in the data stream.
		Information that is easy to understand, presented clearly and simply, described in exact and graspable terms, is much more likely to influence us than difficult, tedious, or ambiguous information.

		Cognitive information processing (CIP) is not associated with the work of a single theorist; rather, it builds on the work of a number of researchers who share a common paradigm.
		This is useful, because if someone tells you a story about eating in a restaurant, they don't have to provide all of the details about being seated, giving their order to the server, leaving a tip at the end, etc., because your schema for the restaurant experience can fill in these missing details.
		Provide unifying themes for content, since information that lacks a theme can be difficult to comprehend, or, worse, the learner may "accrete" the information to the wrong schema.

	Information Processing
		One way to think of this is to picture the process of acquiring, retaining, and using information as an activity called information processing, which is diagrammed in Figure 6.1.
		It may be convenient to view information processing as parallel to the way in which an executive manages a business.
		Information comes into the business across the executive's desk - mail, phone calls, personal interactions, problems, etc. (This is like short-term memory.) Some of this information goes into the waste basket (like being forgotten), and some of it is filed (like being stored in long-term memory).

		Retrieval- The information is found at the appropriate time, and reactivated for use on a current task, the true test of effective memory.
		The initial appeal of information processing theories was the idea that cognitive processes could be described in a stage-like model.
		The stages to processing follow a path along which information is taken into the memory system, and reactivated when necessary.
