• Computers combine information presented to them with their stored information to provide solutions to a variety of problems, and most computers have a central processing unit with limited capacity
• Although it is usually assumed that capacity limitations affect the human attentional system, the human brain has the capacity for extensive parallel processing, and computers often rely on their single processing system
• Humans are influenced in their cognitions by several conflicting emotional and motivational factors, which essentially make their information processing system far superior to that of a computer
