Abstract
This chapter introduces information processing perspectives from cognitive psychology, providing historical background content where it might prove useful. The hope is that this will provide readers enough of an understanding of psychology perspectives, theories, and methods that they can better apply crowdsourcing methods to understand the cognitive outcomes of interaction within visualization environments and other computer interfaces.
