  2. Richard Abegg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Abegg

    Richard Wilhelm Heinrich Abegg (9 January 1869 – 3 April 1910) was a German chemist [4] and pioneer of valence theory. He proposed that the difference of the maximum positive and negative valence of an element tends to be eight. This has come to be known as Abegg's rule.

  3. Cognitive valence theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_Valence_Theory

    Cognitive valence theory (CVT) is a theoretical framework that describes and explains the process of intimacy exchange within a dyad relationship.Peter A. Andersen, [who?] PhD created the cognitive valence theory to answer questions regarding intimacy relationships among colleagues, close friends and intimate friends, married couples and family members. [1]

  4. Valence (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_(psychology)

    The use of the term in psychology entered English with the translation from German ("Valenz") in 1935 of works of Kurt Lewin.The original German word suggests "binding", and is commonly used in a grammatical context to describe the ability of one word to semantically and syntactically link another, especially the ability of a verb to require a number of additional terms (e.g. subject and ...

  5. Abegg's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abegg's_rule

    In chemistry, Abegg's rule states that the difference between the maximum positive and negative valence of an element is frequently eight. The rule used a historic meaning of valence which resembles the modern concept of oxidation state in which an atom is an electron donor or receiver. Abegg's rule is sometimes referred to as "Abegg’s law of ...

  6. Motivational intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivational_intensity

    According to motivational intensity theory, high approach motivational intensity will narrow attention and conversely, low motivational intensity will broaden attention. [1] This theory is at odds with a more traditional explanation of the effects of affect on cognitive scope, which suggest that positive affect broadens attention and negative ...

  7. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    The theory of encoding specificity finds similarities between the process of recognition and that of recall. The encoding specificity principle states that memory utilizes information from the memory trace, or the situation in which it was learned, and from the environment in which it is retrieved. In other words, memory is improved when ...

  8. Emotion and memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_and_memory

    The dimension of valence ranges from highly positive to highly negative, whereas the dimension of arousal ranges from calming or soothing to exciting or agitating. [7] [8] The majority of studies to date have focused on the arousal dimension of emotion as the critical factor contributing to the emotional enhancement effect on memory. [9]

  9. Concatenated error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenated_error...

    A natural concept for a decoding algorithm for concatenated codes is to first decode the inner code and then the outer code. For the algorithm to be practical it must be polynomial-time in the final block length. Consider that there is a polynomial-time unique decoding algorithm for the outer code.
