  2. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    [15] [16] Similarly, increasing the duration of a stimulus available in a reaction time task was found to produce slightly faster reaction times to visual [15] and auditory stimuli, [17] though these effects tend to be small and are largely consequent of the sensitivity to sensory receptors. [8]

  3. Stimulus–response compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus–response...

    Stimulus–response (S–R) compatibility is the degree to which a person's perception of the world is compatible with the required action. S–R compatibility has been described as the "naturalness" of the association between a stimulus and its response, such as a left-oriented stimulus requiring a response from the left side of the body.

  4. Psychomotor vigilance task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomotor_vigilance_task

    A psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) is a sustained-attention, reaction-timed task that measures the consistency with which subjects respond to a visual stimulus.Research indicates increased sleep debt or sleep deficit correlates with deteriorated alertness, slower problem solving, declined psychomotor skills, and increased rate of false responses.

  5. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing

    For example, consider auditory spatial input. The location of an object can sometimes be determined solely on its sound, but the sensory input can easily be modified or altered, thus giving a less reliable spatial representation of the object. [19] Auditory information therefore is not spatially represented unlike visual stimuli.

  6. Perceptual learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_learning

    A variety of skills were upgraded in video game players, including "improved hand-eye coordination, [67] increased processing in the periphery, [68] enhanced mental rotation skills, [69] greater divided attention abilities, [70] and faster reaction times, [71] to name a few". An important characteristic is the functional increase in the size of ...

  7. Sensory memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_memory

    Iconic memory, for example, holds visual information for approximately 250 milliseconds. [7] The SM is made up of spatial or categorical stores of different kinds of information, each subject to different rates of information processing and decay. The visual sensory store has a relatively high capacity, with the ability to hold up to 12 items. [8]

  8. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

    Location of visual, auditory and somatosensory perception in the superior colliculus of the brain. Overlapping of these systems creates multisensory space. Integration of all sensory modalities occurs when multimodal neurons receive sensory information which overlaps with different modalities.

  9. Multisensory learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisensory_learning

    Multisensory learning is different from learning styles which is the assumption that people can be classified according to their learning style (audio, visual or kinesthetic). However, critics of learning styles say there is no consistent evidence that identifying an individual student's learning style and teaching for that style will produce ...
