  2. Lexical decision task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_decision_task

    For example, when primed with the word "bank," the left hemisphere would be bias to define it as a place where money is stored, while the right hemisphere might define it as the shore of a river. The right hemisphere may extend this and may also associate the definition of a word with other words that are related.

  3. Cohort model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohort_model

    Much evidence in favor of the cohort model has come from priming studies, in which a priming word is presented to a subject and then closely followed by a target word and the subject asked to identify if the target word is a real word or not; the theory behind the priming paradigm is that if a word is activated in the subject's mental lexicon ...

  4. Generation effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_effect

    The generation effect is typically achieved in cognitive psychology experiments by asking participants to generate words from word fragments. [2] This effect has also been demonstrated using a variety of other materials, such as when generating a word after being presented with its antonym, [3] synonym, [1] picture, [4] arithmetic problems, [2] [5] or keyword in a paragraph. [6]

  5. Logical reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_reasoning

    For example, when predicting how a person will react to a situation, inductive reasoning can be employed based on how the person reacted previously in similar circumstances. It plays an equally central role in the sciences , which often start with many particular observations and then apply the process of generalization to arrive at a universal ...

  6. Arbitrary inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_inference

    Arbitrary inference is a classic tenet of cognitive therapy created by Aaron T. Beck in 1979. [1] He defines the act of making an arbitrary inference as the process of drawing a conclusion without sufficient evidence, or without any evidence at all.

  7. Fast mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_mapping

    In cognitive psychology, fast mapping is the term used for the hypothesized mental process whereby a new concept is learned (or a new hypothesis formed) based only on minimal exposure to a given unit of information (e.g., one exposure to a word in an informative context where its referent is present).

  8. Lemma (psycholinguistics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, there is some evidence to indicate that the grammatical gender of a noun is retrieved from the word's phonological form (the lexeme) rather than from the lemma. [4] This can be explained by models that do not assume a distinct level between the semantic and the phonological stages (and so lack a lemma representation). [3]

  9. Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotter_Incomplete...

    The Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank is a projective psychological test developed by Julian Rotter and Janet E. Rafferty in 1950. [1] It comes in three forms i.e. school form, college form, adult form for different age groups, and comprises 40 incomplete sentences which the S's has to complete as soon as possible but the usual time taken is around 20 minutes, the responses are usually only 1 ...
