По своим характеристикам объект памяти, реализующий фиксирование установки, является автоматически исполняемым объектом (процедурой) процедурной памяти.

В психологии фиксирование установки (эффект предшествования, прайминг) — это механизм имплицитной памяти, обеспечивающий неосознанное и непреднамеренное влияние однократного воздействия стимула, какого-либо вида, на реакцию на последующий стимул.

Например, слово МЕДСЕСТРА распознается быстрее после слова ДОКТОР, чем после слова ХЛЕБ.

Существуют перцептивный, семантический и концептуальный прайминг.

Исследования, однако, еще не установили с достаточной точностью продолжительность (день? неделю?) эффекта прайминга, но начало его действия может быть практически мгновенным.

Прайминг проявляется сильнее, когда два стимула имеют одну модальность. Например, визуальный прайминг сильнее всего проявляется при поступлении визуальных сигналов, а словесный прайминг - в случае словесных сигналов.

Однако прайминг также происходит между сигналами разной модальности, или между семантически связанными словами, такими как «доктор» и «медсестра».

Экстрастриарная кора (показана жёлтым и оранжевым цветом), как предполагается, участвует в процессах фиксирования установки

Позитивное фиксирование установки ускоряет обработку воздействия стимула, негативное фиксирование установки замедляет (по сравнению с ситуацией отсутствия фиксирования установки) обработку воздействия стимула.

Зафиксированная установка является менее глубинным и общим явлением, чем психологическая установка — неосознанное психологическое состояние, внутреннее качество субъекта, базирующееся на его предшествующем опыте, предрасположенности к определённой активности в определённой ситуации.

Частным случаем прайминга является эффект привязки — особенность оценки числовых значений человеком, из-за которой она смещается в сторону ранее воспринятых чисел, даже если эти числа не имеют никакого отношения к оцениваемому значению.

The magic can happen in a studio. Special things can happen in a recording studio, even though it may seem like a clinical environment from the outside looking in.

I think the solo playing, the decision to start playing solo, came out of having discovered what lay behind the doors that that technique opened for me.

The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.

Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.

Crime against the individual is the equivalent of crime against humanity.

It's much more fun to play something you're nothing like than what you are... It's much easier to hide yourself in a character.

I prefer to surprise myself as I'm writing. I'm not interested in it if I already know where it's going. So I have only the most general sense of what I'm doing when I start a story. I sometimes have a destination in mind, but how the story is going to go from Point A to Point Z is something I make up as I go along.

I can't imagine a God who would ever need to intercede in the daily travails of my life.

Avoiding the phrase "I don't have time...", will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life.

There are blessings in being close to the soil, in raising your own food even if it is only a garden in your yard and a fruit tree or two. Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own.

We should not pour muck on ourselves.

Stephen Sondheim told me that Oscar Hammerstein believed everything that he wrote. So there's great truth in the songs, and that's what was so wonderful to find.

I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now, because they make things happen.

Someone wasting your time is far worse than someone wasting your money.

Me, my literary reputation is mostly abroad, but I am anchored here in New York. I can't think of any other place I'd rather die than here.

Shakespeare is all big themes, like the most amazing love, or the most scary war.

I giggle when I put myself down. It's just funny to me.

The prayers of a lover are more imperious than the menaces of the whole world.

The only way the Internet will continue to remain the thriving medium it has become today is to keep it under the control of the United States.

I wrote in the cellar for a number of years. I needed a private space, and it had a furnace, so it was always warm.

Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.

Yeah, I read history. But it doesn't make you nice. Hitler read history, too.

When you're trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appear a little abstract, and it is easy to lose sight of the product.

Whenever I act well, my head clears. Always a bit frail I was personally, but never professionally.
