  2. Modal dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_dispersion

    Modal dispersion occurs even with an ideal, monochromatic light source. A special case of modal dispersion is polarization mode dispersion (PMD), a fiber dispersion phenomenon usually associated with single-mode fibers. PMD results when two modes that normally travel at the same speed due to fiber core geometric and stress symmetry (for example ...

  3. Intermodal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodal_mapping

    Theoretically, both the intermodal mapping model and mirror neurons function through automatic low-level processes meant to facilitate imitation. With Hebbian Theory in mind, mirror neurons cannot be innate. They could, however, gain responsiveness through “postnatal experience,” which Meltzoff acknowledges as a part of the intermodal model ...

  4. Blocking effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_effect

    In some human and animal studies, subjects show a reduction in the association between CS2 and the US, though the effect is often weaker than the standard blocking effect, and vanishes under some conditions. This effect is not predicted by the Rescorla–Wagner model although other models have been proposed that capture this effect. [citation ...

  5. Intramodal dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramodal_dispersion

    In fiber-optic communication, an intramodal dispersion, is a category of dispersion that occurs within a single mode optical fiber. [1] This dispersion mechanism is a result of material properties of optical fiber and applies to both single-mode and multi-mode fibers.

  6. Multisensory integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisensory_integration

    Multisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion, and taste) may be integrated by the nervous system. [1]

    The difference in recall value, however, depends on the subject, and the subject's ability to form images from odors. Attributing verbal attributes to odors has similar effects. Semantic processing of odors (e.g. attributing the "mud" odor to "smell like a puddle") has found to have the most positive effects on recall.

  8. Intermodulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodulation

    The intermodulation between frequency components will form additional components at frequencies that are not just at harmonic frequencies (integer multiples) of either, like harmonic distortion, but also at the sum and difference frequencies of the original frequencies and at sums and differences of multiples of those frequencies.

  9. Transportation theory (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_theory...

    Narrative transportation theory proposes that when people lose themselves in a story, their attitudes and intentions change to reflect that story. The mental state of narrative transportation can explain the persuasive effect of stories on people, who may experience narrative transportation when certain contextual and personal preconditions are met, as Green and Brock [1] postulate for the ...
