  2. Interference engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_engine

    An interference engine is a type of 4-stroke internal combustion piston engine in which one or more valves in the fully open position extends into any area through which the piston may travel. By contrast, in a non-interference engine , the piston does not travel into any area into which the valves open.

  3. Automatic and controlled processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_and_controlled...

    Automatic and controlled processes (ACP) are the two categories of cognitive processing.All cognitive processes fall into one or both of those two categories. The amounts of "processing power", attention, and effort a process requires is the primary factor used to determine whether it's a controlled or an automatic process.

  4. Yugo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugo

    One critical maintenance issue specific to the Yugo 55 and 65 (the 45 was a 903 cc pushrod engine, with a timing chain) [39] was the need for regular replacement of the interference engine's timing belt — every 40,000 miles (64,000 km). [38] In a non-interference engine, timing belt failure does not cause further damage to the engine.

  5. Simon effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_effect

    A typical demonstration of the Simon effect involves placing a participant in front of a computer monitor and a panel with two buttons. The participant is told that they should press the button on the right when they see something red appear on the screen, and the button on the left when they see something green.

  6. Associative interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_interference

    Retroactive interference is the interference of newer memories with the retrieval of older memories. [16] The learning of new memories contributes to the forgetting of previously learned memories. For example, retroactive interference would happen as an individual learns a list of Italian vocabulary words, had previously learned Spanish.

  7. Motor cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cognition

    A related study showed that motor experts use similar processes for the mental rotation of body parts and polygons, whereas non-experts treated these stimuli differently. [26] These results were not due to underlying confounds, as demonstrated by a training study that showed mental rotation improvements after a one-year motor training, compared ...

  8. Herbert Spencer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Spencer

    However, Spencer's theories of laissez-faire, survival-of-the-fittest and minimal human interference in the processes of natural law had an enduring and even increasing appeal in the social science fields of economics and political science, and one writer has recently made the case for Spencer's importance for a sociology that must learn to ...

  9. Local average treatment effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_average_treatment_effect

    The non-interference assumption, otherwise known as the Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA), is composed of two parts. [ 12 ] The first part of this assumption stipulates that the actual treatment status, d i {\displaystyle d_{i}} , of subject i {\displaystyle i} depends only on the subject's own treatment assignment status, z i ...
