    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller's_law

    The Miller's law used in communication was formulated by George Armitage Miller (1920–2012), a professor of psychology at Princeton University, as part of his theory of communication. According to it, one should suspend judgment about what someone else is saying to first understand them without imbuing their message with personal interpretations.

  3. Verbal intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_intelligence

    Verbal Comprehension is a fairly complex process, and it is not fully understood. From various studies and experiments, it has been found that the superior temporal sulcus activates when hearing human speech, and that speech processing seems to occur within Wernicke's area.

  4. Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson–Shiffrin_memory...

    The model asserts that human memory has three separate components: a sensory register, where sensory information enters memory, a short-term store, also called working memory or short-term memory, which receives and holds input from both the sensory register and the long-term store, and

  5. TRACE (psycholinguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRACE_(psycholinguistics)

    TRACE is a connectionist model of speech perception, proposed by James McClelland and Jeffrey Elman in 1986. [1] It is based on a structure called "the TRACE", a dynamic processing structure made up of a network of units, which performs as the system's working memory as well as the perceptual processing mechanism. [2]

  6. Short-term memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory

    The idea of separate memories for short-term and long-term storage originated in the 19th century. [2] A model of memory developed in the 1960s assumed that all memories are formed in one store and transfer to others store after a small period of time. This model is referred to as the "modal model", most famously detailed by Shiffrin. [3]

  7. Verbal memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_memory

    Verbal memory is a term used in cognitive psychology which refers to memory of words and other abstractions involving language. A variety of tests is used to test verbal memory, including learning lists or pairs of words, or recalling a story after it has been told. Verbal memory deals with memory of spoken information. [1]

  8. Motor theory of speech perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_theory_of_speech...

    The motor theory of speech perception is not widely held in the field of speech perception, though it is more popular in other fields, such as theoretical linguistics. As three of its advocates have noted, "it has few proponents within the field of speech perception, and many authors cite it primarily to offer critical commentary".

  9. Active listening - Wikipedia

    Another physiological boundary is the difference between the slow rate of most speech and the brain's ability to process that information. Typically, the brain can process around 500 words per minute while the average rate of speech for speakers is 125 words per minute. This difference make it easy for the mind to wander. [23]
