Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory & Information-Processing Theory

The information processing approach likens the human mind to a computer, focusing on how information is input, stored, and processed. This approach emphasizes the continuous development of cognitive capabilities, such as working memory, long-term memory, and the mechanisms through which learning occurs.
