  2. Mental operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_operations

    For example, the child will no longer perceive an exceptionally wide but short cup to contain less than a normally-wide, taller cup. Reversibility—the child understands that numbers or objects can be changed, then returned to their original state. For this reason, a child will be able to rapidly determine that if 4+4 equals t, t−4 will ...

  3. GOMS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOMS

    GOMS is a specialized human information processor model for human-computer interaction observation that describes a user's cognitive structure on four components. In the book The Psychology of Human Computer Interaction, [1] written in 1983 by Stuart K. Card, Thomas P. Moran and Allen Newell, the authors introduce: "a set of Goals, a set of Operators, a set of Methods for achieving the goals ...

  4. Keystroke-level model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke-level_model

    The KLM resembles the model K1 from the family of GOMS models the most because both are at the keystroke level and possess a generic M operator. The difference is that the M operator of the KLM is more aggregated and thus larger (1.35 seconds vs. 0.62 seconds), which makes its mental operator more similar to the CHOOSE operations of the model ...

  5. Front-end processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-end_processor

    The user enters input (data) into the front-end process where it is collected and processed in such a way that it conforms to what the receiving application (back end) on the server can accept and process. As an example, the user enters a URL into a GUI (front-end process) such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. The GUI then processes the URL in ...

  6. Just-noticeable difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-noticeable_difference

    In the branch of experimental psychology focused on sense, sensation, and perception, which is called psychophysics, a just-noticeable difference or JND is the amount something must be changed in order for a difference to be noticeable, detectable at least half the time. [1]

  7. Frontend and backend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontend_and_Backend

    In telecommunication, the front can be considered a device or service, while the back is the infrastructure that supports provision of service. A rule of thumb is that the client-side (or "frontend") is any component manipulated by the user. The server-side (or "backend") code usually resides on the server, often far removed physically from the ...

  8. Counterfactual thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfactual_thinking

    Norms involve a pairwise comparison between a cognitive standard and an experiential outcome. A discrepancy elicits an affective response which is influenced by the magnitude and direction of the difference. [4] For example, if a server makes twenty dollars more than an average night, a positive feeling will be evoked.

  9. Reverse engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering

    The Tupolev Tu-4, a Soviet bomber built by reverse engineering captured Boeing B-29 Superfortresses. Reverse engineering (also known as backwards engineering or back engineering) is a process or method through which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a previously made device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight ...
