متن کاملAssociative Processor Arrays: Simulation and Performance Estimates for Image Processing
The SCAPE chip, as an example of an associative processor array, is described; performance and algorithm details are given. The difficulties which were encountered when designing a SCAPE test-bed are stated and SCAPE is compared with a number of other image processing chips and system designs. The knowledge gained from this work is then used to suggest improvements in the design of VLSI associa...
متن کاملMental fatigue impairs physical performance in humans.
Mental fatigue is a psychobiological state caused by prolonged periods of demanding cognitive activity. Although the impact of mental fatigue on cognitive and skilled performance is well known, its effect on physical performance has not been thoroughly investigated. In this randomized crossover study, 16 subjects cycled to exhaustion at 80% of their peak power output after 90 min of a demanding...
متن کاملPhysical Activity Improves Mental Rotation Performance
Even there seemed to be general knowledge that physical activity enhanced spatial cognitive performance almost none experimental studies on this influence exist. For that the influence of physical activity on mental rotation performance is investigated in this study. Mental rotation is the ability to imagine how an object would look if rotated away from the original orientation. Two groups of 4...
متن کاملSearching for explanations: How the Internet inflates estimates of internal knowledge.
As the Internet has become a nearly ubiquitous resource for acquiring knowledge about the world, questions have arisen about its potential effects on cognition. Here we show that searching the Internet for explanatory knowledge creates an illusion whereby people mistake access to information for their own personal understanding of the information. Evidence from 9 experiments shows that searchin...
