Understanding the Information Processing Paradigm in Cognitive Psychology

Understanding the Information Processing Paradigm in Cognitive Psychology

The information processing paradigm focuses on understanding how the brain processes information through mechanics, which are studied using chronometric methods rather than introspection. It explores automatic and controlled mental processes and their efficiency.

Abstract Synopsis

  • The information processing paradigm focuses on understanding how the brain processes information through processes called mechanics, which are studied using chronometric (timing) methods rather than introspection.
  • Fast process research explores elementary mental processes, distinguishing between automatic mechanics (which operate without conscious effort) and controlled mechanics (which require attention), and investigates how brain states influence their efficiency.
  • The approaches used in this paradigm, including cognitive psychophysiology, help determine whether behavioral issues are due to the inherent nature of these mental processes or their overall efficiency.]
