None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cognitive theory suggests that the human mind is like a computer that is constantly processing and encoding data. According to cognitive theory, when a person experiences stimuli, their minds will look toward prior schema (or internal frameworks created by memories) to help them understand this information.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cognitivism, also known as cognitive learning theory, helps in developing better programs for learners because it uses research that focuses on the brain and mental processes for acquiring and using new information.

Detailed explanation-4: -The information processing theory simplified is comparing the human brain to a computer or basic processor. It is theorized that the brain works in a set sequence, as does a computer.
