| Information processing: Information processing in psychology refers to the way the human brain receives, processes, stores, and retrieves information. This approach is akin to a computer model, emphasizing mental operations like perception, attention, encoding, and memory. It helps in understanding cognitive functions, learning, decision-making, and problem-solving, highlighting how information flows and transforms within the brain's cognitive systems. See also Information, Perception, Cognition, Computer model, Computation, Memory, Learning, Problem solving._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Group Psychology on Information Processing - Dictionary of Arguments
Haslam I 224 Information processing/categorization/Group psychology: the distinction between ingroup and outgroup has profound effects resulting in a number of ingroup/outgroup biases (see Dovidio and Gaertner, 2010(1)). Among other things, people - process information more deeply for ingroup than outgroup members, - favour ingroup over outgroup members in evaluations, - are more generous and forgiving in their behavioural attributions of ingroup versus outgroup members, - exhibit a physical readiness to approach ingroup members and - avoid outgroup members, are more helpful toward ingroup versus outgroup members, - are more cooperative toward and trustful of ingroup than Haslam I 225 outgroup members, and - exercise more personal restraint when using endangered resources with ingroup versus outgroup members. >Common Ingroup Identity. 1.
