The first article I found is from the Encyclopedia of Childhood & Adolescence. This article talks about child developement as it relates to the information processing theory. It goes through the basis of information theory and two pioneers of this theory, D.E. Broadbent and Robert Siegler. It also talks about the computer analogy that we've studied in class.
The second article, Structuring Information to Enhance Human Information Processing and Decision Style, was found in the Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal in the Walden Library database (Sage Journals database). This article states how and why pretesting/posttesting is imporant because it measures changes in information processing complexity, decision rule complexity, and decision time orientation. The study in this article goes over how graduated complexity increases understanding.
