  2. Illusion of explanatory depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion_of_explanatory_depth

    The illusion is related to the Dunning–Kruger effect, differing in that the IOED examines explanatory knowledge as opposed to ability. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Limited evidence exists suggesting that the effects of the IOED are less significant in subject matter experts, [ 7 ] but it is believed to affect almost everyone, compared to the Dunning–Kruger ...

  3. Boundary extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_extension

    Simple BE photos with varying degrees of zoom. There are many possible causes of boundary extension. For example, source monitoring errors, [16] [2] perceptual schemas, [11] and visual memory [4] all partially can contribute to boundary extension because they are all related to how photos are initially processed and then later remembered.

  4. List of cognitive biases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

    In psychology and cognitive science, a memory bias is a cognitive bias that either enhances or impairs the recall of a memory (either the chances that the memory will be recalled at all, or the amount of time it takes for it to be recalled, or both), or that alters the content of a reported memory. There are many types of memory bias, including:

  5. Unconscious inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_inference

    In perceptual psychology, unconscious inference (German: unbewusster Schluss), also referred to as unconscious conclusion, [1] is a term coined in 1867 by the German physicist and polymath Hermann von Helmholtz to describe an involuntary, pre-rational and reflex-like mechanism which is part of the formation of visual impressions.

  6. Attribute substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute_substitution

    Attribute substitution is a psychological process thought to underlie a number of cognitive biases and perceptual illusions.It occurs when an individual has to make a judgment (of a target attribute) that is computationally complex, and instead substitutes a more easily calculated heuristic attribute. [1]

  7. Unconscious cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconscious_cognition

    Unconscious cognition is the processing of perception, memory, learning, thought, and language without being aware of it. [1]The role of the unconscious mind on decision making is a topic greatly debated by neuroscientists, linguists, philosophers, and psychologists around the world.

  8. Remember versus know judgements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_versus_know...

    For example, masked repetition priming, modality match during study and test, and the use of easy word-fragments in word-fragment recall are all perceptual manipulations which increase know responses. [15] An example of a conceptual manipulation which enhances know responses is when a prime item is semantically related to a target item. [15]

  9. Implicit memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_memory

    In psychology, implicit memory is one of the two main types of long-term human memory.It is acquired and used unconsciously, and can affect thoughts and behaviours. [1] One of its most common forms is procedural memory, which allows people to perform certain tasks without conscious awareness of these previous experiences; for example, remembering how to tie one's shoes or ride a bicycle ...
