Information processing theory:
It is a cognitive theory was adopted by Developmental psychologists for assessing the
mental development of a child based on the basic component of the brain. It was developed by a
cognitive psychologist George A. Miller to provide individuals with a basic idea of how the
human brain process information. Information Processing Theory is at present being applied in
artificial intelligence for facilitating the human working process. The theory is conceptualize the
cognitive process of the human being and suggested that humans being processed every
knowledge human being receive, rather than responding to environmental stimuli. It is based on
four basic assumptions (Lee & Chatzisarantis, 2017). First, the information presented in the
surroundings processed by a range of processing system such as attention, short-term memory
(Xiong & Proctor, 2018). Second, these processing systems have the ability to alter the evidence
in a systematic way of obtaining the best possible interpretation. Third, the theory adopted by
the researchers for specifying the processes and structure that facilitate cognitive performance.
Last, information processing in humans being nearly resembled that in computers. Therefore, in
the period of 1950s - 1960s, the advancement of the computer had a significant impact on
psychology. It opened a new avenue for research for the cognitive approach and it became the
leading approach in psychology specially overpowering Behaviorism. The underlying reason is
that computer development provided scientists with a process of how the human mind works
when it captures information from the environment.
Role of Information processing theory in visualizing processing:
Kret and Bocanegra (2016), suggested that standard information-processing model is one
of the most common models used for explaining how information processing works. Standard

information-processing model for mental development suggested that the mind’s information
processing works when attention mechanisms such as general attention and selective attention
bring information in. After gathering the information, working memory actively influence
information, and lastly, long-term memory passively holding information for the future (Eick et
al., 2019). Therefore, visualization attention plays a crucial role in stimulating information. For
example, eyes of individuals receive visual information from the immediate environment, it
codes information into electric neural activity which is, in turn, goes to the brain where it is
working memory alter the information and stored in the long term use (Kiat, J. E., & Belli, R. F.
(2018).. The information taken through the visual senses are usually taken from the short-term
memory and visual sense is responsible for holding on the memories for recognition. Therefore,
visual senses are also called sensory memory. However, Johndro et al. (2019), suggested that
information processing can influence visualization based on what information was being
internalized, the complexity of the stimuli and ability to control the attention of the individuals.
Therefore, recent researchers conducted the cognitive psychology suggested that individual with
better working memory or higher working memory have the ability to filter out irrelevant
information from the environment compared to the individuals with low to average working
memory.
How visualization influence information processing of individuals:
Visual processes play a crucial role in influencing information processing of the
individual. Visual attention and information processing are predominantly relevant to the field
of cognitive decline as most human behaviour is visually driven. The ability of individuals to see
certain things influences what information is processed within the brain of the individuals as
sensory memory plays a crucial role in influencing information. Wayne and Johnsrude (2015)
