Module Information Processing Theory of Learning
INTRODUCTION
The information processing theory approach to the study of cognitive development evolved out of the American experimental tradition in psychology. Information processing theorists proposed that like the computer, the human mind is a system that processes information through the application of logical rules and strategies. Like the computer, the mind has a limited capacity for the amount and nature of the information it can process

3 Explain what makes information meaning.
4 Describe how information processing theory helps students to learn.

Information Processing Learning Theory
The Information Processing theory is based on the assumption that information comes from the outside world into sensory registers in the brain. This input consists of things perceived by our senses. People are not consciously aware of most of the things they perceive; but become aware of them only if consciously directing attention to them. When attention is directed to them, they are placed in the working memory.
George A. Miller is modifying this theory
