Higher-order thinking, also known as higher order thinking skills (HOTS), [1] is a concept applied in relation to education reform and based on learning taxonomies (such as American psychologist Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy). The idea is that some types of learning require more cognitive processing than others, but also have more generalized benefits.
A 2004 non-peer-reviewed literature review criticized most of the main instruments used to identify an individual's learning style. [1] In conducting the review, Frank Coffield and his colleagues selected 13 of the most influential models of the 71 models they identified, [1]: 8–9 including most of the models described in this article. They ...
Motivation is often understood as an internal state or force that propels individuals to engage and persist in goal-directed behavior. [1] Motivational states explain why people or animals initiate, continue, or terminate a certain behavior at a particular time. [2]
Greenwood–Hercowitz–Huffman preferences are a particular functional form of utility developed by Jeremy Greenwood, Zvi Hercowitz, and Gregory Huffman, in their 1988 paper Investment, Capacity Utilization, and the Real Business Cycle. [1] It describes the macroeconomic impact of technological changes that affect the productivity of new ...
David Albert Huffman (August 9, 1925 – October 7, 1999) was an American pioneer in computer science, known for his Huffman coding. [1] [2] He was also one of the pioneers in the field of mathematical origami. [3]
In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".
The normal Huffman coding algorithm assigns a variable length code to every symbol in the alphabet. More frequently used symbols will be assigned a shorter code. For example, suppose we have the following non-canonical codebook: A = 11 B = 0 C = 101 D = 100 Here the letter A has been assigned 2 bits, B has 1
Adaptive Huffman coding (also called Dynamic Huffman coding) is an adaptive coding technique based on Huffman coding. It permits building the code as the symbols are being transmitted, having no initial knowledge of source distribution, that allows one-pass encoding and adaptation to changing conditions in data.
