Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The American experimental tradition of psychology have contribution to the study of cognitive development of information processing theories. The fundamental idea of this hypothesis is that the human brain is like a processor of computers or data, rather than behaviorist ideas that people simply respond to stimuli.

Such ideas compare systems of thought with those of a machine in that it collects input, processes, and produces output. The processing model levels target on the processing depth engaged in memory and forecast the processing of shallow knowledge, the greater a trace of memory will last.
