Detailed explanation-1: -INTRODUCING COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY The worked on the assumption that the human mind is an information processor, like a computer (this is called the “computer analogy”) – information is inputted into the mind, processed, and then there is output in the form of memories, beliefs or decisions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Computer-Mind Analogy The use of the computer as a tool for thinking how the human mind handles information is known as the computer analogy. Essentially, a computer codes (i.e., changes) information, stores information, uses information, and produces an output (retrieves info).
Detailed explanation-3: -The cognitive approach to behaviour views human beings as processors of information much in the same way as a computer processes information. The cognitive approach to behaviour focuses on areas of research such as schema processing, memory processing, and thinking, and how cognition may influence behaviour.
