  2. Unitary theories of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_theories_of_memory

    In 1974, Baddeley and Hitch [5] introduced and made popular the multicomponent model of working memory.This theory proposes a central executive that, among other things, is responsible for directing attention to relevant information, suppressing irrelevant information and inappropriate actions, and for coordinating cognitive processes when more than one task must be done at the same time.

  3. Model of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_of_computation

    A model describes how units of computations, memories, and communications are organized. [1] The computational complexity of an algorithm can be measured given a model of computation. Using a model allows studying the performance of algorithms independently of the variations that are specific to particular implementations and specific technology.

  4. Information processing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    The Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model was proposed in 1968 by Richard C. Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin. This model illustrates their theory of the human memory. These two theorists used this model to show that the human memory can be broken in to three sub-sections: Sensory Memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. [9]

  5. ACT-R - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT-R

    Like a programming language, ACT-R is a framework: for different tasks (e.g., Tower of Hanoi, memory for text or for list of words, language comprehension, communication, aircraft controlling), researchers create "models" (i.e., programs) in ACT-R. These models reflect the modelers' assumptions about the task within the ACT-R view of cognition.

  6. Interference theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_theory

    An example scenario in which Output Interference might occur would be if one had created a list of items to purchase at a grocery store, but then, neglected to take the list when leaving home. The act of remembering a couple of items on that list decreases the probability of remembering the other items on that list.

  7. Bulk synchronous parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_Synchronous_Parallel

    The computation and communication actions do not have to be ordered in time. Communication typically takes the form of the one-sided PUT and GET remote direct memory access (RDMA) calls rather than paired two-sided send and receive message-passing calls. A BSP superstep. Processes lack linear order and may be mapped to processors in any way

  8. Jakobson's functions of language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakobson's_functions_of...

    The six factors of an effective verbal communication. To each one corresponds a communication function (not displayed in this picture). [1] Roman Jakobson defined six functions of language (or communication functions), according to which an effective act of verbal communication can be described. [2] Each of the functions has an associated factor.

  9. Semantic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_memory

    One of the first examples of a network model of semantic memory is the teachable language comprehender (TLC). [18] In this model, each node is a word, representing a concept (like bird). Within each node is stored a set of properties (like "can fly" or "has wings") as well as links to other nodes (like chicken).
