  2. Value theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_theory

    According to this view, a thing has intrinsic value if the source of its value is an intrinsic property, meaning that the value does not depend on how the thing is related to other objects. Extrinsic value, by contrast, depends on external relations. This view sees instrumental value as one type of extrinsic value based on causal relations.

  3. Spatial contextual awareness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_Contextual_Awareness

    For example, computer vision and object based indexing can be used to both identify an object and assist a user in navigating from the location. Spatial contextual awareness plays a key role in this process as it provides an initial geo-reference of the location while simplifying the object recognition process to a manageable degree. [14]

  4. Spatial ability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_ability

    Spatial ability is the capacity to understand, reason and remember the visual and spatial relations among objects or space. [1] There are four common types of spatial abilities: spatial or visuo-spatial perception, spatial visualization, mental folding and mental rotation. [3]

  5. Cognitive map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_map

    The integration of this information in the hippocampus makes the hippocampus a practical location for cognitive mapping, which necessarily involves combining information about an object's location and its other features. [19] O'Keefe and Nadel were the first to outline a relationship between the hippocampus and cognitive mapping. [8]

  6. Object skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_skill

    In everyday life, people learn values of objects according to the corresponding rewarding or punishing results of choosing these objects. Their ability of finding good objects therefore depends on this kind of value-based learning, [3] [4] where consistency plays an important role. As a result of this comparatively consistent object-value ...

  7. Doorway effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect

    Separate studies on the presence of a doorway effect elicited incongruences with typical rhythms of life. Some suggest it may be reasonable to expect that humans should instead be rather facile with dealing with movement from one location to another, and its effects on memory recall – especially with objects one was recently carrying.

  8. Organizing principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizing_principle

    It is like a central reference point that allows all other objects to be located, often used in a conceptual framework. [1] Having an organizing principle might help one simplify and get a handle on a particularly complicated domain or phenomenon. On the other hand, it might create a deceptive prism that colors one's judgment.

  9. Object-oriented ontology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_ontology

    Anthropocentrism is the privileging of humans as "subjects" over and against nonhuman beings as "objects". Philosophical anthropocentrism tends to limit certain attributes (e.g., mind, autonomy, moral agency, reason) to humans, while contrasting all other beings as variations of "object" (that is, things that obey deterministic laws, impulses, stimuli, instincts, and so on).
