  2. LC4MP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC4MP

    The Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing or LC4MP is an explanatory theory that assumes humans have a limited capacity for cognitive processing of information, as it associates with mediated message variables; moreover, they (viewers) are actively engaged in processing mediated information [1] Like many mass communication theories, LC4MP is an amalgam that finds its ...

  3. Bounded rationality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_rationality

    An example of behaviour inhibited by heuristics can be seen when comparing the cognitive strategies utilised in simple situations (e.g. tic-tac-toe), in comparison to strategies utilised in difficult situations (e.g. chess). Both games, as defined by game theory economics, are finite games with perfect information, and therefore equivalent. [10]

    Processing difficulty effect: That information that takes longer to read and is thought about more (processed with more difficulty) is more easily remembered. [174] See also levels-of-processing effect. Recency effect: A form of serial position effect where an item at the end of a list is easier to recall. This can be disrupted by the suffix ...

  5. Cognitive load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_load

    As of 1984 it was established for example, that there were individual differences in processing capacities between novices and experts. Experts have more knowledge or experience with regard to a specific task which reduces the cognitive load associated with the task.

  6. Cognitive bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_bias

    The brain's limited information processing capacity [63] Noisy information processing (distortions during storage in and retrieval from memory). [ 64 ] For example, a 2012 Psychological Bulletin article suggests that at least eight seemingly unrelated biases can be produced by the same information-theoretic generative mechanism. [ 64 ]

  7. Maximization (psychology) - Wikipedia

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

    The distinction between "maximizing" and "satisficing" was first made by Herbert A. Simon in 1956. [1] [2] Simon noted that although fields like economics posited maximization or "optimizing" as the rational method of making decisions, humans often lack the cognitive resources or the environmental affordances to maximize.

  8. Automatic and controlled processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_and_controlled...

    Automatic and controlled processes (ACP) are the two categories of cognitive processing.All cognitive processes fall into one or both of those two categories. The amounts of "processing power", attention, and effort a process requires is the primary factor used to determine whether it's a controlled or an automatic process.

  9. Psychology of reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_reasoning

    It overlaps with psychology, philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, logic, and probability theory. Psychological experiments on how humans and other animals reason have been carried out for over 100 years. An enduring question is whether or not people have the capacity to be rational.
