A list of 'effects' that have been noticed in the field of psychology. [clarification needed] Ambiguity effect;
The cheerleader effect, also known as the group attractiveness effect or the friend effect, [1] is a proposed cognitive bias which causes people to perceive individuals as 1.5–2.0% more attractive in a group than when seen alone. [2] The first paper to report this effect was written by Drew Walker and Edward Vul, in 2013. [3]
The chelate effect is the greater affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion than that of similar nonchelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal. The thermodynamic principles underpinning the chelate effect are illustrated by the contrasting affinities of copper (II) for ethylenediamine (en) vs. methylamine .
The chelate effect increases as the number of chelate rings increases. For example, the complex [Ni(dien) 2)] 2+ is more stable than the complex [Ni(en) 3)] 2+; both complexes are octahedral with six nitrogen atoms around the nickel ion, but dien (diethylenetriamine, 1,4,7-triazaheptane) is a tridentate ligand and en is bidentate. The number of ...
The spacing effect demonstrates that learning is more effective when study sessions are spaced out. This effect shows that more information is encoded into long-term memory by spaced study sessions, also known as spaced repetition or spaced presentation, than by massed presentation ("cramming").
Attention is a very interesting phenomenon,” said Dagnall, who is a reader in applied cognitive psychology. “With the Mandela Effect, people are often remembering things the way they think ...
This perceptual effect is known as the Ganong effect. [7] TRACE reliably simulates this, and can explain it in relatively simple terms. Essentially, the lexical unit which has become activated by the input (i.e. wood) feeds back activation to the phoneme layer, boosting the activation of its constituent phonemes (i.e. /d/ ), thus resolving the ...
Priming is a concept in psychology to describe how exposure to one stimulus may influence a response to a subsequent stimulus, without conscious guidance or intention. [1] [2] [3] The priming effect is the positive or negative effect of a rapidly presented stimulus (priming stimulus) on the processing of a second stimulus (target stimulus) that appears shortly after.
