Processing speed in different ages and different complexity of tasks Abstract: The information processing speed concerned with lots of external and internal factors. In this discussion, processing speed's relation with age was examined in the contrast between young group (mean age 23) and old group (mean age 71). The complexity of task, which was one of the external factors that influence the processing speed, was presented in a comparison of 3 levels. This investigation of processing speed was carried out through a computer program. Finally, it was accepted that the processing speed decreased with the developing of age. It also decreased with the increasing of complexity of task. Introduction: Miller (1956) has provided a theoretical idea that is fundamental to the information-processing framework. This concept of information processing used the computer as a model for human learning. Like the computer, the human mind takes in information, performs operations on it to change...
