Teaching Implications of Information Processing Theory and Evaluation Approach of learning Strategies using LVQ Neural Network 1ANDREAS G. KANDARAKIS and 2MARIOS S. POULOS 1Department of Special Education and Psychology University of Athens Greece 2Department of Archives and Library Sciences Ionian University, Corfu, Greece Abstract: - In terms of Information Processing model, learning represents the process of gathering Information , and organizing it into mental schemata. Information - Processing Theory has definite educational Implications for students with learning and behavior problems. Teachers with a greater understanding of the Theory and how it is formed to, select learning strategies in order to improve the retention and retrieval of learning. But it must also be taken into consideration that the learning environment has specific effects on academic achievement.

terms of information processing model, learning represents the process of gathering information, and organizing it into mental schemata (organized structures of stereotypic knowledge). Learning is defined as the process of acquiring new information; while memory is defined as the persistence of learning that can be assessed at a later time. 2.
