Information Processing Theory divides memory into three stores--two temporal stores
(sensory and short term) and one long term.
- Sensory memory: stores information in its sensory form (be it audio, visual, etc) for a fraction of a second.
- Short term memory: can store a limited amount of unrehearsed memory for 20 seconds.
- Long term memory: can store an unlimited amount of information over a long period of time
The process goes as followed:
- input - > sensory memory
- with attention, information from the sensory memory is transfered into short term memory (which last for 20 seconds)
- if you want to maintain information in short term memory you would rehearse (the process of repeating the information verbally/mentally?) the information
- information is then stored into the long term memory

What attempts to explain cognitive development by observing and analyzing mental processes involved in perceiving information is it Social cognitive theory The information-processing?
Information Processing is the answer. D3
Which cognitive theory uses terms like short-term and long-term memory?
information processing theory
What is cognitive learning theories?
Cognitive Theory is a theory of Psychology which defines human behavior by understanding thought processes. It assumes that human beings make choices which sense to them the most. Cognitive Theory describes mental process as "Information Processing" thereby comparing the human mind to a computer.
What theory says dreaming is a by-product of our brain processing what it has learned in our day?
information processing
An information processing perspective of development portrays cognitive development as?
gradually improving cognitive abilities
What is information processing theory?
The information-processing theory is a cognitive theory of learning that describes the processing, storage, and retrieval of knowledge in the mind.

What is the difference between the cognitive constructivist theory and the information processing theory of development?
Without getting into a discussion of all the elements of these theories the short answer deals with how each views development. Cognitive constructivist theorist's such as Piaget, saw development occurring in stages. This is referred to as discontinuous development. Constructivist see a change in what children can do as they mature, and that this change is qualitative. Information processing theory sees development as continuous. They see the difference in the way a child responds to the world, and the way an adult responds, as a matter of amount or complexity. This theory says that infants, toddlers, children, and adults respond to the world much the same.
