  2. Eriksen flanker task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eriksen_flanker_task

    Just as with the Eriksen Flanker Task, the response time and accuracy of congruent words is better than those of incongruent words. [8] The third task that is largely focused on is the Simon or spatial compatibility task. In this task, the stimulus, either a word, letter, or symbol, is shown on the right or left side of the computer screen.

  3. Dual-coding theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-coding_theory

    Similar to the way a watch may represent information in the form of numbers to display the time, symbolic codes represent information in our mind in the form of arbitrary symbols, like words and combinations of words, to represent several ideas. Each symbol (x, y, 1, 2, etc.) can arbitrarily represent something other than itself.

  4. Picture superiority effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_superiority_effect

    Allan Paivio's dual-coding theory is a basis of picture superiority effect. Paivio claims that pictures have advantages over words with regards to coding and retrieval of stored memory because pictures are coded more easily and can be retrieved from symbolic mode, while the dual coding process using words is more difficult for both coding and retrieval.

  5. Rorschach test - Wikipedia

    The most widely used method in the United States is based on the work of Exner. Administration of the test to a group of subjects, by means of projected images, has also occasionally been performed, but mainly for research rather than diagnostic purposes. [26] Test administration is not to be confused with test interpretation:

  6. Visual thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_thinking

    Visual thinking, also called visual or spatial learning or picture thinking, is the phenomenon of thinking through visual processing. [1] Visual thinking has been described as seeing words as a series of pictures. [2] [3] It is common in approximately 60–65% of the general population. [1] "Real picture thinkers", those who use visual thinking ...

  7. Synesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia

    Many tests exist for synesthesia. Each common type has a specific test. When testing for grapheme–color synesthesia, a visual test is given. The person is shown a picture that includes black letters and numbers. A synesthete will associate the letters and numbers with a specific color. An auditory test is another way to test for synesthesia.

    That is, the validity of the test would be ascertained by seeing how clinician's decisions were assisted based on the TAT. Evidence on this front suggests it is a weak guide at best. For example, one study indicated that clinicians classified individuals as clinical or non-clinical at close to chance levels (57% where 50% would be guessing ...

  9. Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrance_Tests_of_Creative...

    The third edition of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking in 1984 removed the "flexibility" scale from the figural test but added "resistance to premature closure" (based on Gestalt psychology) and "abstractness of titles" as two new criterion-referenced scores on the figural. Torrance called the new scoring procedure Streamlined Scoring.
