  2. Differential outcomes effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_outcomes_effect

    The differential outcomes effect (DOE) is a theory in behaviorism, a branch of psychology, that shows that a positive effect on accuracy occurs in discrimination learning between different stimuli when unique rewards are paired with each individual stimulus.

  3. Cognitive categorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_categorization

    Categorization is a type of cognition involving conceptual differentiation between characteristics of conscious experience, such as objects, events, or ideas.It involves the abstraction and differentiation of aspects of experience by sorting and distinguishing between groupings, through classification or typification [1] [2] on the basis of traits, features, similarities or other criteria that ...

  4. Differential psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_psychology

    Importantly, individuals can also differ not only in their current state, but in the magnitude or even direction of response to a given stimulus. [5] Such phenomena, often explained in terms of inverted-U response curves, place differential psychology at an important location in such endeavours as personalized medicine, in which diagnoses are customised for an individual's response profile.

  5. Integrative complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrative_complexity

    Evaluative differentiation involves the acknowledgement that reasonable people can view any given event differently and that making a decision involves balancing any legitimate competing interests. In contrast, thinking in an evaluatively un-differentiated manner involves thinking rigidly and refusing to compromise or consider any alternative.

  6. Perceptual learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_learning

    For example, the perceptual expertise of a baseball player at bat can detect early in the ball's flight whether the pitcher threw a curveball. However, the perceptual differentiation of the feel of swinging the bat in various ways may also have been involved in learning the motor commands that produce the required swing. [1]

  7. Model of hierarchical complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_of_hierarchical...

    The model of hierarchical complexity (MHC) is a formal theory and a mathematical psychology framework for scoring how complex a behavior is. [4] Developed by Michael Lamport Commons and colleagues, [3] it quantifies the order of hierarchical complexity of a task based on mathematical principles of how the information is organized, [5] in terms of information science.

  8. Task switching (psychology) - Wikipedia

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

    Performance on these tasks is disrupted when a switch from one task to another is required. This disruption is characterized by a slower performance and decrease in accuracy on a given task A on a trial that follows the performance of a different task B ("alternating" or "switch" trial) as opposed to performance on task A when it follows another trial of task A ("repetition" trial).

  9. Steiner's Taxonomy of Tasks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiner's_Taxonomy_of_Tasks

    Conjunctive tasks are tasks requiring all group members to contribute to complete the product. [1] In this type of task the group's performance is determined by the most inferior or weakest group member. [2] Examples provided in Forysth's summary of Steiner's work include climbing a mountain and eating a meal as a group. [2]
