  2. Plateau principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau_Principle

    The method of approach to steady state has also been used to analyze the change in messenger RNA levels when synthesis or degradation changes, and a model has also been reported in which the plateau principle is used to connect the change in messenger RNA synthesis to the expected change in protein synthesis and concentration as a function of time.

  3. Second-order conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_conditioning

    An example of second-order conditioning. In classical conditioning, second-order conditioning or higher-order conditioning is a form of learning in which a stimulus is first made meaningful or consequential for an organism through an initial step of learning, and then that stimulus is used as a basis for learning about some new stimulus.

  4. Attention span - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_span

    Many different tests on attention span have been used in different populations and in different times. Some tests measure short-term, focused attention abilities (which is typically below normal in people with ADHD), and others provide information about how easily distracted the test-taker is (typically a significant problem in people with ADHD).

  5. Four stages of competence - Wikipedia

    However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration, and if it is broken, they lapse into incompetence. [1] Unconscious competence The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task.

    Concentrating on a task, one aspect of flow. Flow in positive psychology, also known colloquially as being in the zone or locked in, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

  7. Attentional control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attentional_control

    First, the efficiency of the central executive is impaired by anxiety. Second, anxiety impairs the inhibition function, and third, anxiety impairs the shifting function. [39] Studies related to attentional control and performance take two differing approaches. Specifically, research on attentional capture has two modes: voluntary and reflexive.

  8. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    An example of the second type of discrimination paradigm, which administers stimuli successfully or serially, is a classic 1963 study in which participants are given two sequentially lifted weights and asked to judge whether the second was heavier or lighter than the first. [48]

  9. Logic of graphs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_of_graphs

    In the monadic second-order logic of graphs, the variables represent objects of up to four types: vertices, edges, sets of vertices, and sets of edges. There are two main variations of monadic second-order graph logic: MSO 1 in which only vertex and vertex set variables are allowed, and MSO 2 in which all four types of variables are allowed ...
