what are two different approaches to cognitive psychology, inst it just the information processing approach?

Answer 1

While it's true that, after Donald Broadbent's 1958 book "Perception and Communication", the information processing model of cognition has been the dominant paradigm, this is just one specific take on cognitive psychology.

More generally, it is concerned with:

"...all processes by which the sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used. It is concerned with these processes even when they operate in the absence of relevant stimulation, as in images and hallucinations... Given such a sweeping definition, it is apparent that cognition is involved in everything a human being might possibly do; that every psychological phenomenon is a cognitive phenomenon. But although cognitive psychology is concerned with all human activity rather than some fraction of it, the concern is from a particular point of view. Other viewpoints are equally legitimate and necessary. Dynamic psychology, which begins with motives rather than with sensory input, is a case in point. Instead of asking how a man's actions and experiences result from what he saw, remembered, or believed, the dynamic psychologist asks how they follow from the subject's goals, needs, or instincts" (Neisser)

Answer 2

There aren't any two approachers. Cognitive psychology is one paradigm. It's broken into other ickle paradigms but that's all.

The information processing approach was another name given to cognitive psychology. The two are the same.
