  3. Breaking point (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_point_(psychology)

    Getting someone to confess to a crime during an interrogation – whether innocent or guilty – means the suspect has been broken. The key to breaking points in interrogation has been linked to changes in the victim's concept of self [3] – changes which may be precipitated by a sense of helplessness, [4] by lack of preparedness or an underlying sense of guilt, [5] as well (paradoxically) as ...

  4. Time perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception

    If long-term time perception is based solely on the proportionality of a person's age, then the following four periods in life would appear to be quantitatively equal: ages 5–10 (1x), ages 10–20 (2x), ages 20–40 (4x), age 40–80 (8x), as the end age is twice the start age. However, this does not work for ages 0–10, which corresponds to ...

    Stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) is a measure used in experimental psychology. SOA denotes the amount of time between the start of one stimulus, S1, and the start of another stimulus, S2 (Figure 1). In this respect, a stimulus may consist of, e.g., a presented image, sound or printed word.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate-term_memory

    Intermediate-term memory (ITM) is a stage of memory distinct from sensory memory, working memory/short-term memory, and long-term memory. [1] [2] [3] While sensory memory persists for several milliseconds, working memory persists for up to thirty seconds, and long-term memory persists from thirty minutes to the end of an individual's life, intermediate-term memory persists for about two to ...

  9. Information processing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    Information processing theory is the approach to the study of cognitive development evolved out of the American experimental tradition in psychology. Developmental psychologists who adopt the information processing perspective account for mental development in terms of maturational changes in basic components of a child's mind.
