Information processing models

Information processing models is another fundamental principle of HCI and is all about how people think to do this designers have to think what if the user selects one thing before another. Computers are like brains because they both take in information then analyse the information then uses the information.









•It is important to have the users attention so you should create an interface which isn’t too hard to navigate, make sure there isn’t too much or too little information, you should use groupings, you should place objects in way where the user can get good information.
•People can recognize material so much faster and much more material than they can recall it.




•Recognition: knowledge in the world.
•Recall: knowledge in the head. 
  
Some selections need to be made when creating an application like what audience you are aiming for.
The goals of your application has to be considered like if it is for educational or other purposes
The people operating the application have to be taken into account such as will they need anything to help them navigate.
 Some methods which may be use in information processing are keeping things as simple as possible for the user to navigate, keeping the layout the same throughout, use a lot of diagrams, use sound.
 •The reasons these methods should be implemented is you will cover most the ways in which people learn through.
