Human Information Processing
Abstract
The brain is the information processor that tells we humans how to perform. Looking at the human being as a computer, we can identify different actions within our brains. Computers mimic human brain processing categories include perceptual processor, cognitive processor, motor processor, visual image storage, auditory image storage, working memory and long-term memory. Two major elements determine the display type: display content and display organization. Users with different responsibilities may need the same content to be organized according to their specific responsibilities. In planning video screen display types, it is important to consider various techniques for expediting display recognition. Syntactic knowledge is learned by rote, involves little system understanding, and is only short-term. Semantic knowledge, on the other hand, is taught through concepts, relationships, and analogies. Straight hierarchical views are not the only way to organize viewing structures. Two other approaches have also been used successfully: sequential structure, and spatial structure.
