The following diagram is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the human nervous system: Human nervous system. Human nervous system – the part of the human body that coordinates a person's voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of the body.
To strengthen a single dissociation, a researcher can establish a "double dissociation", a term that was introduced by Hans-Lukas Teuber in 1955. [2] This is the demonstration that two experimental manipulations each have different effects on two dependent variables; if one manipulation affects the first variable and not the second, the other manipulation affects the second variable and not ...
In contrast to a simple light switch, which is a single pole, single throw (SPST) switch, multiway switching uses switches with one or more additional contacts and two or more wires are run between the switches. When the load is controlled from only two points, single pole, double throw (SPDT) switches are used.
Reed switch diagrams from Walter B. Ellwood's 1941 patent, [4] Electromagnetic switch. It illustrates a single pole, double-throw (SPDT) device. Descriptions from the patent text are as follows: Fig. 1 - device shown in nonoperated position Fig. 2 - device shown in operated position Fig. 3 - cross-section 1 - glass envelope 2 - terminal

1917 motor switch, with extra contacts Dual-pole, dual-throw knife switch in one of its two closed positions. A knife switch is a type of switch used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is composed of a hinge which allows a metal lever, or knife, to be lifted from or inserted into a slot or jaw.
The difference in accuracy and performance between a task repeat (A-A) and a task switch (A-B) is known as the switch cost. The switch cost remains even when there is ample warning of an upcoming switch, thus it is thought to reflect the functioning of numerous executive control processes ranging from attention shifting, goal retrieval, task ...
An example of this phenomenon is when a ball appears to be getting smaller and smaller, the mind will then infer that the ball is moving away from them. In the 1890s, psychologist George M. Stratton conducted experiments in which he tested the theory of perceptual adaptation.
