5-1 Discussion: Humans as Computers?
The growing body of research on the information-processing theory continues to show its application across cognitive, social, and emotional domains. Kuther (2023) outlines three basic assumptions for the information-processing theory:
* Thinking is information processing. The human mind is designed to take in information, process it, retrieve it, and use it in problem solving.
* Cognitive change is a continuous process. Over our lifespan, we get better at using our cognitive systems.
* Our cognitive resources are limited. There is a limit to how much information we can take in, process, or retrieve at a time. However, we learn different strategies to become more efficient at processing information as we grow. (Kuther, 2023).
Given this perspective, in your initial post, attempt to utilize the information processing theory to explain the mental illness of depression, and discuss what implications this theory has for treatment.
