INFORMATION PROCESSING MODELIntroductionHow does information enter our brain and how do we share it afterwards? Cognitive psychologists have imagined individuals as information processors, in much the same way that a computer absorbs information and follows a program to produce output. Just as a computer receives, stores, and displays information, so do our minds. By looking more closely at how we humans process information, cognitive psychologists have developed a model to explain the distinct steps in which we process, return, and retrieve information. This model is widely known as the Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) information processing model of memory. Objective The information processing model helps students pursue and master information. They provide cognitive strategies so students can plan, organize, and build according to their goals. It's about students developing intellectual skills and achieving knowledge. Phases of information processing • Shifting: This process occurs in STM, when we shift our attention to new incoming information that can lead to forgetting. • Interference: occurs in LTM, which creates difficult learning and recall of difficult experiences due to previous experiences. How to Retain Information While these sequences show the order in which we interact and store information, they do not simply occur as we experience everyday events. As explained by (Mazarin, n.d.), not everything we experience directly enters our short-term or long-term memory. In order to absorb the information around us and then bring it into our memory levels, there are a few things we need to do. These include the use of selective attention, maintenance trials, and processing trials. Selective
