I found two valuable resources to help us learn more about information processing:
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/244/description#description
Elsevier’s Journal, “Information Processing and Management”
From the web site:
“Information Processing & Management is devoted to refereed reporting of:
1. Basic and applied research in information science, computer science, cognitive science and related areas that deals with: the generation, representation, organization, storage, retrieval, and use of information; the nature, manifestations, behavior, and effects of information and knowledge; communication and distribution of information and knowledge; and human information behavior.
2. Experimental and advanced processes related to: information retrieval (IR); digital libraries; knowledge organization and distribution; digitized contents – text, image, sound and multimedia processing; and human-computer interfaces in information systems. Implementations in information retrieval systems and a variety of information systems, networks, and contexts. Related evaluation.
3. Management of information resources, services, systems and networks, and digital libraries. Related studies of the economics of information and the principles of information management.”
What I like about this site is the ability to see articles listed as most recent, most cited or most downloaded. The range of topics within information processing is quite expansive. Enjoy!

University of Valdosta’s W. Huitt has a paper “The Information Processing Approach to Cognition”, I found interesting.
This provides some valuable advice to those instructing using this approach. A nice matrix as well as a visual describing the whole ‘process’.
