  2. Uncertainty reduction theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_reduction_theory

    The foundation of the uncertainty reduction theory stems from the information theory, originated by Claude E. Shannon and Warren Weaver. [2] Shannon and Weaver suggests, when people interact initially, uncertainties exist especially when the probability for alternatives in a situation is high and the probability of them occurring is equally high.

    KNB EFX Group is an American special effects company that specializes in prosthetic makeup, animatronics, and other practical effects.It was founded in 1988 by Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, and Howard Berger, though Kurtzman left in 2003.

  4. Holonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holonomy

    On the way to his classification of Riemannian holonomy groups, Berger developed two criteria that must be satisfied by the Lie algebra of the holonomy group of a torsion-free affine connection which is not locally symmetric: one of them, known as Berger's first criterion, is a consequence of the Ambrose–Singer theorem, that the curvature ...

    Hans Berger (21 May 1873 – 1 June 1941) was a German psychiatrist. He is best known as the inventor of electroencephalography (EEG) in 1924, which is a method used for recording the electrical activity of the brain, commonly described in terms of brainwaves , and as the discoverer of the alpha wave rhythm which is a type of brainwave.

    Based on this effect, the sum of the latter would be larger than the former. The split-category effect could be causing frequency illusion in people – after subcategorizing an object, phrase, or idea, they might be likelier to notice these subcategories, leading them to believe the main category's frequency of occurrence has increased.

  7. Expectation states theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectation_States_Theory

    Berger et al., (1972) [2] identify the following assumptions: Assumption 1. (Activation) Given a situation, if a diffuse status characteristic in a task situation is a social basis of discrimination between p' (persons) and o (other) then the diffuse status characteristic is activated in the task situation. Assumption 2.

  8. Alpha wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_wave

    This distinction earned the alpha wave the alternate title of "Berger's Wave". [citation needed] Berger took a cue from Ukrainian physiologist Vladimir Pravdich-Neminsky, who used a string galvanometer to create a photograph of the electrical activity of a dog's brain. Using similar techniques, Berger confirmed the existence of electrical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Construction_of...

    The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge (1966), by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, proposes that social groups and individual persons who interact with each other, within a system of social classes, over time create concepts (mental representations) of the actions of each other, and that people become habituated to those concepts, and thus assume ...
