Structural analysis of information processing models according to Bower and Mazur

Abstract

Information processing models of Bower and Mazur are models that are used in some textbooks for explanation of human information processing. Human information processing approach is of great importance for controlling and managing of the man - machine system. The aim of this research is to give a new consideration about adequacy of the models of Bower and Mazur for explanation of the human information processes, by means of structural and functional analysis of the models. It is pointed out to some shortcomings of the models and to a conditional limitation of the models for explanation of the human information processing.
