Information Processing , problem solving, the brain & Learning.
By Foretia epse Atem Ajong. Date: 20 th March 2022. The brain has been likened to a computer and its processes that are involved in information processing, learning, and solving problems(Walden, University, LLC, n.d). In this regard, writers such as Pappas (2016) mention three stages of information processing and problem-solving: inputs, storage, and outputs. The inputs here are stimuli gathered through the human senses such as hearing, seeing, touching and taste. These stimuli are screened through the sensory memory (Pappas, 2014) and filtered if the information is worth remembering. The storage stage is comprised of both short and long-term memory. Data in the short-term memory can manage more significant portions of information which can last for about 10 seconds to one minute, according to Pappas (2016). Long-term memory is where data is stored and retrieved as output used to solve complex problems. Individual memories stored in the long-term memory as p...
