  2. Eriksen flanker task - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eriksen_flanker_task

    Just as with the Eriksen Flanker Task, the response time and accuracy of congruent words is better than those of incongruent words. [8] The third task that is largely focused on is the Simon or spatial compatibility task. In this task, the stimulus, either a word, letter, or symbol, is shown on the right or left side of the computer screen.

  3. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    In computer architecture, Amdahl's law (or Amdahl's argument [1]) is a formula that shows how much faster a task can be completed when you add more resources to the system. The law can be stated as: "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is ...

  4. Working memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_memory

    Baddeley and Hitch's model of working memory. In 1974 Baddeley and Hitch [11] introduced the multicomponent model of working memory.The theory proposed a model containing three components: the central executive, the phonological loop, and the visuospatial sketchpad with the central executive functioning as a control center of sorts, directing info between the phonological and visuospatial ...

  5. Cognitive load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_load

    These limitations will, under some conditions, impede learning. [citation needed] Heavy cognitive load can have negative effects on task completion, and the experience of cognitive load is not the same in everyone. [citation needed] The elderly, students, and children experience different, and more often higher, amounts of cognitive load.

  6. Short-term memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_memory

    Short-term memory (or "primary" or "active memory") is the capacity for holding a small amount of information in an active, readily available state for a short interval.. For example, short-term memory holds a phone number that has just been recit

  7. n-back - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-back

    [8] Whatever the cause of the performance differences between the n-back and other assessments of working memory, some researchers stress the need for further exploration of the construct validity of the n-back task. [7] Performance on the n-back task seems to be more closely correlated with performance on measures of fluid intelligence than it ...

  8. Priority ceiling protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_ceiling_protocol

    The task's priority is set to the priority ceiling of the resource, thus no task that may lock the resource is able to get scheduled. This ensures the OCPP property that "A task can only lock a resource if its dynamic priority is higher than the priority ceilings of all resources locked by other tasks".

  9. Task analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_analysis

    Task analysis is a fundamental tool of human factors engineering.It entails analyzing how a task is accomplished, including a detailed description of both manual and mental activities, task and element durations, task frequency, task allocation, task complexity, environmental conditions, necessary clothing and equipment, and any other unique factors involved in or required for one or more ...
