Question

Which scientific field do cognitive psychologists borrow concepts from in explaining how human process information and how the processes may break down?

Answer 1

Computer Science is the correct answer. Computers were relatively new in the early 1950s. As the field of computer science advanced, they learned how computers send, receive, process, store, and retrieve information. The founder of Cognitive Psychology was able to see that the human mind/brain works in much the same way.
