Answer 1

Answer:

The information processing perspective uses the computer as a metaphor for explaining how people's memory and problem-solving work.

Explanation:

Information processing is the alteration of information in any way detectable by an observer. As such, it is a process that describes everything that happens in the universe, from the falling of a rock to the printing of a text file on a digital computer system. The computer is used as a metaphor because of the way it handle with memory (information) - receiving it, processing it, and finally, storage. When necessary, the computer recovers this information and process it. Just like us.
