  2. Missing letter effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_letter_effect

    The increase of processing time denotes the decrease of letter detection errors and the decrease of processing time follows as a result of an increase in word familiarity (or word frequency). [4] The missing letter effect occurs due to faster processing of common function words at the higher level than rare content words, a result of “the ...

  3. Semantic processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Processing

    Semantic processing is the deepest level of processing and it requires the listener to think about the meaning of the cue. Studies on brain imaging have shown that, when semantic processing occurs, there is increased brain activity in the left prefrontal regions of the brain that does not occur during different kinds of processing. One study ...

  4. Infinitesimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal

    Infinitesimals (ε) and infinities (ω) on the hyperreal number line (ε = 1/ω) In mathematics, an infinitesimal number is a non-zero quantity that is closer to 0 than any non-zero real number is. The word infinitesimal comes from a 17th-century Modern Latin coinage infinitesimus, which originally referred to the "infinity-eth" item in a sequence.

  5. Word processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_processor

    A word processor (WP) [1] [2] is a device or computer program that provides for input, editing, formatting, and output of text, often with some additional features.. Early word processors were stand-alone devices dedicated to the function, but current word processors are word processor programs running on general purpose computers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOMS

    GOMS is a specialized human information processor model for human-computer interaction observation that describes a user's cognitive structure on four components. In the book The Psychology of Human Computer Interaction, [1] written in 1983 by Stuart K. Card, Thomas P. Moran and Allen Newell, the authors introduce: "a set of Goals, a set of Operators, a set of Methods for achieving the goals ...

    Phonemic processing includes remembering the word by the way it sounds (e.g. the word tall rhymes with fall). Lastly, we have semantic processing in which we encode the meaning of the word with another word that is similar or has similar meaning. Once the word is perceived, the brain allows for a deeper processing.

    Anyone who reads this article and believes it is truly naive. It contradicts itself numerous times. First it states: "When we consider numbers, the naive definition is clearly flawed: an infinitesimal is a number whose modulus is less than any non zero positive number.

  9. The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two - Wikipedia

    In his article, Miller discussed a coincidence between the limits of one-dimensional absolute judgment and the limits of short-term memory. In a one-dimensional absolute-judgment task, a person is presented with a number of stimuli that vary on one dimension (e.g., 10 different tones varying only in pitch) and responds to each stimulus with a corresponding response (learned before).
