  2. Global precedence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_precedence

    Additionally, global interference effect, which occurs when the global aspect is automatically processed even when attention is directed locally, causes slow reaction time. [2] Navon's study global precedence and his stimuli, or variations of it, are still used in nearly all global precedence experiments.

  3. Wishful thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishful_thinking

    Research on conceptual penetrability utilize stimuli of conceptual-category pairs and measure the reaction time to determine if the category effect influenced visual processing, [18] The category effect is the difference in reaction times within the pairs such as Bb to Bp. To test conceptual penetrability, there were simultaneous and sequential ...

    For instance, you could correctly say, “The effects of climate change can be felt worldwide” and “This medicine may have some side effects.” “Affect,” meanwhile, is a verb that means ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Visual adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_adaptation

    To experience the "lilac chaser" effect, the subject needs to fixate their eyes on the cross in the middle of the image, and after a while the effect will settle in. Visual coding, a process involved in visual adaptation, is the means by which the brain adapts to certain stimuli, resulting in a biased perception of those stimuli.

  7. Frequency illusion - Wikipedia

    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. [11]

  8. Dunning–Kruger effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

    Some researchers include a metacognitive component in their definition. In this view, the Dunning–Kruger effect is the thesis that those who are incompetent in a given area tend to be ignorant of their incompetence, i.e., they lack the metacognitive ability to become aware of their incompetence.

    Ordinary people have better reading performance using high-frequency (20–60 kHz) electronic ballasts than magnetic ballasts, [10] although the effect was small except at high contrast ratio. The flicker of fluorescent lamps, even with magnetic ballasts, is so rapid that it is unlikely to present a hazard to individuals with epilepsy . [ 11 ]
