  2. Self-organizing list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organizing_list

    The aim of a self-organizing list is to improve efficiency of linear search by moving more frequently accessed items towards the head of the list. A self-organizing list achieves near constant time for element access in the best case. A self-organizing list uses a reorganizing algorithm to adapt to various query distributions at runtime.

    The ant colony optimization algorithm is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems that can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs.Initially proposed by Marco Dorigo in 1992 in his PhD thesis, [1] [2] the first algorithm aimed to search for an optimal path in a graph based on the behavior of ants seeking a path between their colony and a source of food.

  4. Heuristic (psychology) - Wikipedia

    Heuristics (from Ancient Greek εὑρίσκω, heurískō, "I find, discover") is the process by which humans use mental shortcuts to arrive at decisions. Heuristics are simple strategies that humans, animals, [1] [2] [3] organizations, [4] and even machines [5] use to quickly form judgments, make decisions, and find solutions to complex problems.

    Those who are unable to adjust well are more likely to have clinical anxiety or depression, [3] as well as experience feelings of hopelessness, anhedonia, difficulty concentrating, sleeping problems, and reckless behavior. [4] In psychology, "adjustment" can be seen in two ways: as a process and as an achievement.

    Lastly, the model involving self-regulation as a skill referred to self-regulation being built up over time and unable to be diminished; therefore, failure to exert would be explained by a lack of skill. They found that self-regulation as a strength is the most feasible model due to studies that have suggested self-regulation is a limited resource.

  7. Self-referential encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-referential_encoding

    Self-knowledge can be categorized by structures in memory or schemata.A self-schema is a set of facts or beliefs that one has about themselves. [5] For any given trait, an individual may or may not be "schematic"; that is, the individual may or may not think about themselves as to where they stand on that trait.

  8. Heuristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic

    Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier (2011) state that sub-sets of strategy include heuristics, regression analysis, and Bayesian inference. [14]A heuristic is a strategy that ignores part of the information, with the goal of making decisions more quickly, frugally, and/or accurately than more complex methods (Gigerenzer and Gaissmaier [2011], p. 454; see also Todd et al. [2012], p. 7).

  9. Communication accommodation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication...

    Like speech accommodation theory, communication accommodation theory continues to draw from social psychology, particularly from four main socio-psychology theories: similarity-attraction, social exchange, causal attribution and intergroup distinctiveness. These theories help to explain why speakers seek to converge or diverge from the language ...
