Behavior of Concrete Under Compressive Load01:23

Behavior of Concrete Under Compressive Load

643
Concrete exhibits specific behaviors under different compressive loads. Understanding this is crucial for understanding its structural integrity. When concrete undergoes uniaxial compression, it tends to develop cracks that run parallel to the direction of the force. These parallel cracks stem from localized tensile stresses that occur perpendicular to the compression direction. Additionally, angled cracks may appear due to the formation of shear planes.
As the concrete specimen fractures under...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Reflection of Waves01:07

Reflection of Waves

4.6K
When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

System of Memory01:23

System of Memory

7.4K
Memory is categorized into three major systems: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). These systems differ in their capacity and the duration for which they can hold information. Sensory memory captures raw sensory input from the environment, holding it for just a few seconds or less. For example, on hearing a brief, loud sound, like a car horn honking, the sound seems to linger in the mind for a moment even after it stops. This is an instance of sensory memory...

Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

902
Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this...

What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.3K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Human Perception

Background:

  • The capacity of visual working memory is a key area of research.
  • Debate exists on whether capacity is limited by object number or feature number.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how object and feature numbers influence visual working memory capacity.
  • To examine the impact on change detection sensitivity and event-related brain potentials (ERPs).
  • To determine the role of the Contralateral Delay Activity (CDA) in representing objects and features.

Main Methods:

  • A novel change detection task with multi-feature objects was employed.
  • Behavioral measures of working memory capacity and sensitivity were recorded.
  • Posterior slow wave event-related brain potential (ERP) activity, specifically the CDA, was measured.

Main Results:

  • Behaviorally, both working memory capacity and sensitivity were affected by the number of objects and features.
  • The Contralateral Delay Activity (CDA) showed sensitivity to the number of objects only.
  • The CDA did not show sensitivity to the number of features.

Conclusions:

  • Both objects and features contribute to limitations in visual working memory capacity.
  • The Contralateral Delay Activity (CDA) may not fully capture feature-level representations in visual working memory.
  • Further research is needed to understand the neural mechanisms underlying feature representation.
