  2. Spatial memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_memory

    Spatial memory is required to navigate in an environment. In cognitive psychology and neuroscience, spatial memory is a form of memory responsible for the recording and recovery of information needed to plan a course to a location and to recall the location of an object or the occurrence of an event.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_garbage_collection

    A white object is unused memory and may be allocated. Second, the interpretation of the black/white bit can change. Initially, the black/white bit may have the sense of (0=white, 1=black). If an allocation operation ever fails to find any available (white) memory, that means all objects are marked used (black).

  4. Pointer (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)

    A pointer is a programming concept used in computer science to reference or point to a memory location that stores a value or an object. It is essentially a variable that stores the memory address of another variable or data structure rather than storing the data itself.

    If an object reliably has a pointer at a certain location, the reference count can be stored in the unused bits of the pointer. For example, each object in Objective-C has a pointer to its class at the beginning of its memory; on the ARM64 architecture using iOS 7, 19 unused bits of this class pointer are used to store the object's reference count.

  6. Visual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory

    Object memory involves processing features of an object or material such as texture, color, size, and orientation. It is processed mainly in the ventral regions of the brain . A few studies have shown that on average most people can recall up to four items each with a set of four different visual qualities.

    A memory question came up when they entered the second half of the room. Shift Trials: In these trials, they made a space change. But not every time there was a change did they ask a memory question. Results: Experiment 2 found that the effect they saw in Experiment 1, where the connection between objects and a person affected memory, was seen ...

    During the brief delay the monkey had to use either object recognition memory, or contextual memory to remember where the reward was located. Object recognition is tested with a matching-to-sample task where the monkey had to remember visual characteristics of the object in order to obtain the reward. Alternatively, in the non-matching-to ...

  9. 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]
