AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In psychology, parallel processing is the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of differing quality. Parallel processing is associated with the visual system in that the brain divides what it sees into four components: color, motion, shape, and depth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parallel processing may be accomplished with a single computer that has two or more processors (CPUs) or with multiple computer processors connected over a computer network. Parallel processing may also be referred to as parallel computing.

Detailed explanation-3: -In parallel processing, we take in multiple different forms of information at the same time. This is especially important in vision. For example, when you see a bus coming towards you, you see its color, shape, depth, and motion all at once.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parallel processing involves taking a large task, dividing it into several smaller tasks, and then working on each of those smaller tasks simultaneously. The goal of this divide-and-conquer approach is to complete the larger task in less time than it would have taken to do it in one large chunk.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parallel processing happens when our senses take in stimuli from different senses at the same time, and the information is processed and understood all at once.
