Cognative Information-Processing Approach

The cognative information-processing approach is an interesting way of relating how we learn. I have to agree with the fact that our minds are somewhat like a computer. We take in new information everyday, some gets stored and some comes in but goes right back out; it's not saved. When we do tests or assignments the information that was stored is then retrieved. Our minds are identical to computers! It's up to you if you want to save or just open the information that you receive. I believe this concept should we told to all students of every age. I feel they will actually try to study the material for tests and you might just receive several good marks from your students. Comparing their knowledge to something they probably use everyday could definitely encourage them to start studying for tests/quizzes. I hope I remember this concept so I can inform my future students about it and even put a poster up in the classroom saying"learning, storage, retrieve" to remind the students everyday what they must to do succeed.
