  2. Mnemonic link system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_link_system

    A mnemonic link system, sometimes also known as a chain method, is a method of remembering lists that is based on creating an association between the elements of that list. For example, when memorizing the list (dog, envelope, thirteen, yarn, window), one could create a story about a "dog stuck in an envelope, mailed to an unlucky thirteen ...

  3. Chaining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaining

    Chaining is a type of intervention that aims to create associations between behaviors in a behavior chain. [1] A behavior chain is a sequence of behaviors that happen in a particular order where the outcome of the previous step in the chain serves as a signal to begin the next step in the chain.

  4. Chunking (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(psychology)

    A modality effect is present in chunking. That is, the mechanism used to convey the list of items to the individual affects how much "chunking" occurs. Experimentally, it has been found that auditory presentation results in a larger amount of grouping in the responses of individuals than visual presentation does. Previous literature, such as George Miller's The Magical Number Seven, Plus or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    The memory performance of subjects who experienced stress during the object-location task decreased significantly when they were tested in an unfamiliar room without the vanilla scent (an incongruent context); however, the memory performance of stressed subjects showed no impairment when they were tested in the original room with the vanilla ...

  6. Method chaining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_chaining

    Method chaining is a common syntax for invoking multiple method calls in object-oriented programming languages. Each method returns an object, allowing the calls to be chained together in a single statement without requiring variables to store the intermediate results.

  7. Encoding (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_(memory)

    There are currently two main computational memory models that can be applied to sequence encoding: associative chaining and positional coding. Associative chaining theory states that every item in a list is linked to its forward and backward neighbors, with forward links being stronger than backward links, and links to closer neighbors being ...

  8. Method cascading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_cascading

    Cascading can be implemented in terms of chaining by having the methods return the target object (receiver, this, self).However, this requires that the method be implemented this way already – or the original object be wrapped in another object that does this – and that the method not return some other, potentially useful value (or nothing if that would be more appropriate, as in setters).

  9. Chaining (vector processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaining_(vector_processing)

    In computing, chaining is a technique used in computer architecture in which scalar and vector registers generate interim results which can be used immediately, without additional memory references which reduce computational speed. [1] The chaining technique was first used by Seymour Cray in the 80 MHz Cray 1 supercomputer in 1976. [2]
