Computers handle information in three basic stages: Input, some type of processing, and output. The computer provided a good description of how the mind could work. For instant you receive information from the stimuli through your sensory organs (Input), your mind works on the information you receive ( processing) and you respond ( output). Like computers, human beings can also store information and retrieve it when needed. The parallels drawn between computer and human processing of information has helped in understanding how the mind works.
