  2. Impulsivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulsivity

    An impulse is a wish or urge, particularly a sudden one. It can be considered as a normal and fundamental part of human thought processes, but also one that can become problematic, as in a condition like obsessive-compulsive disorder, [24] [unreliable medical source?] borderline personality disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

  3. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.

  4. Dual systems model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_systems_model

    Impulsivity has been found to exhibit a different developmental trajectory than reward or sensation seeking. [30] Impulsivity gradually declines with age in a linear fashion. [ 31 ] Around mid-adolescence when impulsivity and sensation-seeking are at their peak is the theoretical peak age for risk-taking according to the dual systems model.

  5. Reinforcement sensitivity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_sensitivity...

    Gray's impulsivity, or BAS, correlates with Eysenck's extraversion. [11] Even though Gray's original theory was modified later by Gray himself, the original theory still made some contributions to the study of biological systems and their role in personality. [ 13 ]

  6. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  7. Continuous performance task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_performance_task

    Thus, the high demand sections pull for "errors of commission", or impulsivity. The five "low demand" sections of the test pull for "errors of omission" or inattentiveness; targets are presented infrequently, and the inattentive test-taker is likely to lose focus and drift off, thus missing the target when it appears.

  8. Barratt Impulsiveness Scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratt_Impulsiveness_Scale

    The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) is a widely used measure of impulsiveness.It includes 30 items that are scored to yield six first-order factors (attention, motor, self-control, cognitive complexity, perseverance, and cognitive instability impulsiveness) and three second-order factors (attentional, motor, and non-planning impulsiveness).

  9. Impulse response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response

    The impulse response from a simple audio system. Showing, from top to bottom, the original impulse, the response after high frequency boosting, and the response after low frequency boosting. In signal processing and control theory , the impulse response , or impulse response function ( IRF ), of a dynamic system is its output when presented ...
