N100In neuroscience, the N100 or N1 is a large, negative-going evoked potential measured by electroencephalography (its equivalent in magnetoencephalography is the M100); it peaks in adults between 80 and 120 milliseconds after the onset of a stimulus, and is distributed mostly over the fronto-central region of the scalp. It is elicited by any unpredictable stimulus in the absence of task demands. It is often referred to with the following P200 evoked potential as the "N100-P200" or "N1-P2" complex.
Multisensory integrationMultisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion, and taste) may be integrated by the nervous system. A coherent representation of objects combining modalities enables animals to have meaningful perceptual experiences. Indeed, multisensory integration is central to adaptive behavior because it allows animals to perceive a world of coherent perceptual entities.
Système auditifLe système auditif est le système sensoriel du sens de l'ouïe. Il est composé de deux systèmes: le système auditif périphérique et le système auditif central. Dans le système auditif périphérique, on retrouve l’oreille externe, moyenne et interne. Le système auditif central comprend le nerf auditif jusqu’au cortex auditif. Le long de son trajet de l'extérieur jusqu'au cerveau antérieur, l'information sonore est conservée et en même temps modifiée de diverses manières.
Behavior modificationBehavior modification is an early approach that used respondent and operant conditioning to change behavior. Based on methodological behaviorism, overt behavior was modified with consequences, including positive and negative reinforcement contingencies to increase desirable behavior, or administering positive and negative punishment and/or extinction to reduce problematic behavior. It also used Flooding desensitization to combat phobias.
Plasticité neuronalevignette|Effets schématiques de la neuroplasticité après entraînement Plasticité neuronale, neuroplasticité ou encore plasticité cérébrale sont des termes génériques qui décrivent les mécanismes par lesquels le cerveau est capable de se modifier lors des processus de neurogenèse dès la phase embryonnaire ou lors d'apprentissages. Elle s’exprime par la capacité du cerveau de créer, défaire ou réorganiser les réseaux de neurones et les connexions de ces neurones. Le cerveau est ainsi qualifié de « plastique » ou de « malléable ».
Motor skillA motor skill is a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task. These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together. The goal of motor skill is to optimize the ability to perform the skill at the rate of success, precision, and to reduce the energy consumption required for performance. Performance is an act of executing a motor skill or task.
Association for Behavioral and Cognitive TherapiesThe Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) was founded in 1966. Its headquarters are in New York City and its membership includes researchers, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, social workers, marriage and family therapists, nurses, and other mental-health practitioners and students. These members support, use, and/or disseminate behavioral and cognitive approaches. Notable past presidents of the association include Joseph Wolpe, Steven C. Hayes, Michelle Craske, Jonathan Abramowitz, Marsha M.
Performance improvementPerformance improvement is measuring the output of a particular business process or procedure, then modifying the process or procedure to increase the output, increase efficiency, or increase the effectiveness of the process or procedure. Performance improvement can be applied to either individual performance, such as an athlete, or organisational performance, such as a racing team or a commercial business. The United States Coast Guard has published the Performance Improvement Guide (PIG), which describes various processes and tools for performance management at the individual and organisational levels.
Conditionnement classiquevignette|thumbtime=192|L'expérience du petit Albert. Le conditionnement classique (aussi appelé conditionnement répondant, conditionnement de type I ou conditionnement pavlovien) est proposé par Ivan Pavlov en 1903. La publication de son livre « Conditioned Reflexes: an Investigation of the Psysiological Activity of the Cerebral Cortex » en 1927 a laissé un impact majeur sur le développement de la psychologie. Cette théorie s'intéresse aux résultats d'un apprentissage dû à l'association entre des stimuli de l'environnement et les réactions inconditionnelles de l'organisme.
Modèle cognitifUn modèle cognitif est une représentation simplifiée visant à modéliser des processus psychologiques ou intellectuels. Leur champ d'application est principalement la psychologie cognitive et l'intelligence artificielle à travers la notion d'agent. Les sciences cognitives se servent de manière récurrente de modèles cognitifs : devant la complexité des processus permettant d'expliquer les raisonnements et les comportements, il est en effet pratique de passer par des hypothèses simplificatrices sous forme de modèles.
Training and developmentTraining and development involve improving the effectiveness of organizations and the individuals and teams within them. Training may be viewed as related to immediate changes in organizational effectiveness via organized instruction, while development is related to the progress of longer-term organizational and employee goals. While training and development technically have differing definitions, the two are oftentimes used interchangeably and/or together.
Stimulus controlIn behavioral psychology (or applied behavior analysis), stimulus control is a phenomenon in operant conditioning (also called contingency management) that occurs when an organism behaves in one way in the presence of a given stimulus and another way in its absence. A stimulus that modifies behavior in this manner is either a discriminative stimulus (Sd) or stimulus delta (S-delta). Stimulus-based control of behavior occurs when the presence or absence of an Sd or S-delta controls the performance of a particular behavior.
