  2. Mathematical psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_psychology

    Mathematical psychology is an approach to psychological research that is based on mathematical modeling of perceptual, thought, cognitive and motor processes, and on the establishment of law-like rules that relate quantifiable stimulus characteristics with quantifiable behavior (in practice often constituted by task performance).

  3. Numerical cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_cognition

    Numerical cognition is a subdiscipline of cognitive science that studies the cognitive, developmental and neural bases of numbers and mathematics.As with many cognitive science endeavors, this is a highly interdisciplinary topic, and includes researchers in cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience and cognitive linguistics.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_cognition

    Computational cognition (sometimes referred to as computational cognitive science or computational psychology or cognitive simulation) is the study of the computational basis of learning and inference by mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and behavioral experiments. In psychology, it is an approach which develops computational models ...

    [1] [16] Specific terms used to explain the importance of the shift of attention in the emotional process include: Attentional shift to the redirection of mental focus from the initial stimulus to the subsequent one. For excitation transfer to occur, individuals need to shift their attention from the source of initial arousal to the new stimulus.

    An extensional definition gives meaning to a term by specifying its extension, that is, every object that falls under the definition of the term in question.. For example, an extensional definition of the term "nation of the world" might be given by listing all of the nations of the world, or by giving some other means of recognizing the members of the corresponding class.

  9. Electron excitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_excitation

    The energy and momentum of electrons in solids can be described by introducing Bloch waves into the Schrödinger equation with applying periodic boundary conditions.Solving this eigenvalue equation, one obtains sets of solutions that are describing bands of energies that are allowed to the electrons: the electronic band structure.
